Coleraine Library is delighted to host the Ulster Architectural Heritage 'Hands-On-Heritage Local Lists' Exhibition. The Local Lists have been produced by Roe Valley Ancestral Researchers, Donaghmore Historical Society, Rathfriland Shared History Group, and Rathmore Historical Society, working in collaboration with UAH. Together, the groups identified, researched, and documented buildings and places they consider significant to their local areas. 

The Lists are presented as interactive digital story maps that explore both familiar and overlooked places, reflecting local knowledge, lived experience, and community priorities. They include a wide range of sites, from grand houses, castles, bawns, banks, and churches to cottages, shops, meeting places, and buildings within living memory. Both listed and non-listed buildings are included, offering an inclusive picture of what defines local character and a sense of place. 

Available to view during opening hours.
