Northern Ireland's PRONI archive suspends enquiries service

From the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (www.nidirect.gov.uk/proni):

PRONI & COVID-19

Last week, we advised that the the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland would be closed to the public until further notice in light of the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Whilst we aimed to continue to respond to written enquiries and operate our fee-paying search and copying service, we are no longer able to provide this.

In line with guidance on social distancing, from 23 March our staff are no longer working from the PRONI building and will be unable to respond to any written enquiries or operate a fee-paying search and copying service until further notice.

The health and welfare of our staff and visitors remains our primary concern during this rapidly evolving situation. We appreciate your understanding at this time and hope you all stay safe and well.

A range of digitised records, databases and other resources remain available online at www.nidirect.gov.uk/proni
