The National Library's photographic collections comprise approximately 630,000 photographs, the vast majority of which are Irish.
While most of the collections are historical there are some contemporary collections. Subject matter ranges from topographical views to studio portraits, and from political events to early tourist photographs.
The Library maintains an active collecting policy and material is constantly added to the collections, often by way of generous donations from various sources. Exhibitions on various themes are held in the National Photographic Archive throughout the year.
