It's a dedicated Local Studies Centre (LSC), open to the public free of charge, and also houses a collection of Irish interest material. Much of the material in the Centre has been digitised and published online by the library's ICT & Information Services Department, based in Library Headquarters. Members of the LSC team also transcribe original materials, and many independent researchers make donations of their own transcriptions, projects, and other material.
