PRONI@CREGAGH
The PRONI self-service microfilm facility will open at Cregagh Library, Belfast on Wednesday 8 September 2010 and continue until PRONI re-opens at its new premises in Titanic Quarter in April 2011.

The booking system will be reviewed subject to demand.

All PRONI self-service microfilms, including church registers, will be available at Cregagh. A full list of these can be seen at self-service collections.

As the 1901 Census is now freely accessible online, it will not be available on microfilm at Cregagh.

MICROFILM REQUEST FACILITY
A Microfilm Request facility is now in place for PRONI@Cregagh. Requests may be made until 21 August 2010.

Only microfilms requested in advance will be available due to PRONI’s extended closure for relocation.

Requests for up to 20 reels of microfilms not usually available via the self-service system may be made.

Viewing arrangements at PRONI@Cregagh must be confirmed in advance as the records will not be stored at Cregagh.
