History of NIPR
As Northern Ireland has no National Library, no local institution is legally responsible for collecting all material published in Northern Ireland.
With funding from the British Library, the Library and Information Services Council for Northern Ireland set out to redress the situation and officially launched the Northern Ireland Publications Resource (NIPR) in October 2000.
All books, journals, pamphlets and reports published in Northern Ireland since 2000 are now systematically collected, catalogued and preserved in NIPR, The National Collection of Northern Ireland Publications.
Bibliographic information about the collection is available in the online catalogue. The Linen Hall Library, Belfast is our lead partner, providing assistance with collecting and preserving the collection, and a dedicated repository has been set up within the Linen Hall Library to house the collection.
In 2015 NIPR was granted charitable status by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. Registration Number NIC102555.
