Corporate Membership

Thank you for considering Corporate Membership at The Linen Hall, the oldest library in Belfast.

By becoming a member, you not only support our vital work as a charity but also gain access to a treasure trove of rare books, historical documents and accredited museum collections. Your membership will help to protect and preserve our unique collections for future generations, while providing a safe, open minded community space for art, culture and conversation.

“As Chair of the John Hewitt Society, I would like to say how marvellous it is to be a corporate member of the Linen Hall Library. This association has provided the society with a great deal of additional support and enhanced networking opportunities. The Library offers our Board and Committee access to one of the premier research libraries and archives in Northern Ireland.

The Linen Hall effectively operates as a national library in the province and it is so helpful as a literary and cultural organisation to have direct access to the wonderful collection of materials, as well as the expertise of the librarians and archivists.

In addition, having special access to the Library for events and business meetings in one of the most central places in Belfast has been extremely beneficial to us in building our network, developing our reach and extending our range of activities.”

Frank Ferguson, John Hewitt Society
