The collection entitled 'Yesterday...so far away' was loaned to the library by the Servite Priory, Benburb, Co. Tyrone.
Many of the photographs of demolished streets such as Duddy's Row, Wellington Street and Bridge Street of old, had never been seen before by the wider public.
The 'Journal' featured some of the photographs in October of that year.
