Queen's University Belfast has held the Edward Bunting Collection since it was bequeathed by Charlotte Milligan Fox in 1916. The earliest manuscript dates from the Belfast Harp Festival of 1792. A number of Bunting's unique manuscripts along with original accession letters will be on display in the Special Collections Reading Room. 

Pre-booking is essential for this event as places are limited to 25. Please email specialcollections@qub.ac.uk if you would like to attend.
