RCB Library - Archive of the Month December 2015

"A significant collection of 105 lantern slides has recently turned up in the Dublin parish of Stillorgan. Thanks to the foresight and conscientious efforts of parishioners who salvaged the slides (complete with an original camera bag and parts of the original projector) and recently transferred them into the safe custody of the RCB Library – and with the support of their rector, the Revd Ian Gallagher – all 105 slides have now been digitally re–mastered, and are displayed here for the first time for viewing by a worldwide audience. "   Wouldn't it be fantastic if some of these people were identified.  Were they from Stillorgan?
Some went off to discover themselves, some went off to spread the word, some went off on the grand tour... pretty much the "Gap year"
This one is labelled 
 “Howard Hotel Jerusalem”. This hotel was located on the Jaffa Road, and its appearance in this collection helps to date the entire set of slide to before 1900, because it was renamed the Hotel du Parc by 1900.

More information can be found on the RCB Library website.
