Roscommon Local History Section
As most people have an interest in the history of their own locality, a small local history collection has been placed in each branch library. The main collection is held at Library Headquarters in Roscommon town. Roscommon library also has an extensive collection of local history files which include copies of articles from journals, newspaper cuttings, maps etc relating to all aspects of Roscommon history, culture, archaeology, people and places. These files can be consulted in the library and copied if required. We have a local studies area where researchers can consult the literature and use the microfilm reader and designated local studies computer.
