Chester Beatty

The Chester Beatty, formerly the Chester Beatty Library, is a museum and library in the grounds of Dublin Castle. It holds the collections of the mining magnate Sir Alfred Chester Beatty. The present museum opened on 7 February 2000.

It was established in 1953 in Dublin to house those collections. The Chester Beatty Library Act 1968 enables the President to appoint a trustee and records that the library was left by will to be kept for the public. An Act that itself brought the library into existence was not confirmed in the sources.

83 spending records on file.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
