The Fenning Collection

Ms Marie Jennings continues to catalogue the private library of the late Fr

Hugh Fenning, O.P., at St Mary’s Priory, Tallaght.

Weak and/or damaged books are tied with a soft cotton tape as a temporary preservation measure.

To avoid attaching adhesive labels to the spines of the older books, the call numbers are written on acid-free bookmarks which are then inserted into the books so as to stand proud when the books are shelved.
