About
Explore the story of Carrickfergus and its surrounding communities within the heritage section and learning centre located at Carrickfergus Library. Designed for anyone with an interest in local heritage - from casual readers to family historians - the collection offers a focused range of resources that bring the past to life.
Visitors can access a selection of local history books covering the development, people, and places of Carrickfergus and the wider County Antrim area. A range of historical maps, including OSNI mapping and Griffith’s Valuation maps, provides a valuable window into how the town and its landscapes have evolved over time.
Carrickfergus Library also preserves local newspapers in both microfiche and hard‑copy formats, including long‑running titles such as the Carrickfergus Times and the Carrickfergus Advertiser, offering rich material for research into local events, families, and community life.
The library’s bright, welcoming environment includes comfortable study areas and modern public facilities, making it an ideal space to read, research, or simply enjoy time immersed in local history.
