In the Local Studies Department of Cork City Libraries we find that few things fascinate visitors to the department more than old photographs, illustrations, and maps of the city. In this section you will find a selection of some of these images. We will add more as the site evolves.

As well as choosing options on the left panel of this page, you might also select the 'History' button above for more illustrations on this website, including images from the Irish Builder and the Illustrated London News.
