NIPR collects literature published in Northern Ireland and now has a wonderful collection of novels, poetry, plays, short stories, mixed form collections and literary criticism. We collect literature in Irish and in Ulster-Scots as well as literature in English. In fact, we will collect literature written in any language, provided it has been published in Northern Ireland from January 2000 onwards.
We collect all types of publications on all subjects! They just need to be published in Northern Ireland from January 2000 onwards. We are happy to accept works published outside of Northern Ireland provided that they have a Northern Ireland distributor; e.g. works that are ‘self-published’ through an internet company and distributed in Northern Ireland by the author. Please check with us.
