Research & Archives

About Our Collections

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral has an extensive range of items, kept in the Cathedral, the Deanery, and the Representative Church Body Library.

For centuries, this Cathedral and Collegiate Church has been a place of learning. We are currently in the process of cataloguing our libraries and archives and hope to make our findings and listings available to the public as soon as possible. We are keen to facilitate requests from researchers in order to assist them in their work; however, it is not always possible to do so until our preliminary work has been carried out. Please contact the Education Officer for more information about how we can help in the interim.
