PRONI re-opens on May 24th by appointment only

The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (www.nidirect.gov.uk/proni) has announced on its website that it is to re-open from May 24th, by appointment only - but that's about all it has announced!

Obviously if I hear any more I will update you further!

UPDATE: OK, here's the drill...!

Requesting a research appointment at PRONI

PRONI will be operating a limited onsite public service from 24 May 2021. Advance booking is one of a number of changes to PRONI services which have been put in place to ensure the health and safety of staff and visitors during the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic.

You must request a research appointment at PRONI (booking re-opens on 24 May) and have your booking confirmed in advance of your visit.

Research appointments previously cancelled due to the enhanced restrictions are being rescheduled for dates from 24 May 2021.  Visitors affected will be contacted by PRONI directly.

Registered PRONI visitors will be able to request a new research appointment at PRONI (to view original records/microfilms) when new appointment bookings are released on 24 May 2021, using the revised procedures below.

You can book one appointment per week, and access up to ten items on that visit. The full details - and there is a lot to digest - are available at https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/research-appointments-proni

Good to see it reopening!
