    Anyone know of any libraries (or anywhere else) in Dublin where I can get historical information on a specific area in Dublin? I've heard of a Gilbert library on Pearse St. Anyone know anything about this place?

    I've yet to check my own local library, though I imagine I'll get some bits of information from there.
