From the Public Record Office in Northern Ireland (PRONI):

We are extending our opening hours on selected dates for the beginning of 2026.

We will also be open on selected Saturdays from 10am to 2pm.

Upcoming Late Thursdays

PRONI has also confirmed something I mentioned a few months back:

We’re delighted to share that a brand-new PRONI website is on the way! Built with our users and community in mind, the refreshed site will make it easier than ever to explore our collections, discover local history, and keep up with events and workshops.
