Running a website with millions of readers every month is expensive. Not only do we pay for our servers, but also for related services such as our content delivery network, Google Workspace, email, and much more. We would much rather spend this money on producing more free history content for the world. Thank you for your help!
The Long Room is the main chamber of the old library of Trinity College. The room was built between 1712 and 1732, while the roof was raised in 1860 to make room for more books, giving the Long Room its iconic appearance.
