Over the past three weeks, Trinity's Treasures has taken viewers behind the scenes of Trinity's iconic Old Library and its extraordinary collections alongside three trinityalumni Ruth Negga, Eleanor McEvoy, and David Norris.
Tune in tonight at 8:30 pm on RTÉ One for the final episode featuring David Norris looking at the collections of the Old Library that have helped shape Ireland politically and societally.
One of the first female students to attend Trinity, Dorothy Stopford Price, is featured in this week's episode. Dorothy's greatest professional achievement was her pioneering work in the use of the Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine to treat the lung disease tuberculosis (TB) also known as consumption due to its victims being ‘consumed’ by weight loss and breathlessness.
