Rothe House Archive and Collections Project: Archive Shelving and Public Access Facilities in Kilkenny, Ireland

Rothe House in Kilkenny, Ireland is seeking suppliers and service providers for a comprehensive archive shelving and collections project. This initiative aims to transform the facility's storage and public access capabilities through: (1) converting an existing closed Collection Store into a publicly accessible visible-storage space with museum-standard storage bays, integrated display areas, and accessible drawers; (2) installing museum-grade marmoleum flooring and new storage systems to enhance collection care and visitor access; (3) creating a new public reading room featuring museum-standard archive shelving, storage systems, and integrated display areas for the Kilkenny Archaeological Society library and archives; (4) providing environmental monitoring equipment for climate control across storage and reading areas; (5) supplying photographic lightbox equipment and website infrastructure to support digitisation efforts; and (6) installing freestanding museum display cabinets. This project increases public engagement with Kilkenny's cultural heritage while improving preservation standards and research accessibility. Suppliers with experience in museum-standard storage systems, archival shelving, environmental monitoring, and heritage facility upgrades are encouraged to explore partnership opportunities.
