Public Record Office of Northern Ireland
Description
The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) is the official archive for public records in Northern Ireland.
It collects a wide range of archives from government, public bodies, councils, courts, churches, business records and private sources. PRONI also advises on and promotes best practice in archive and records management to ensure that today's records will be available for future generations.
The records that PRONI holds date largely from c.1600 to the present day (with the oldest dating back to 1219). PRONI is the first place of reference for those tracing their family tree or undertaking research into local history.
PRONI is based in the heart of the Titanic Quarter, adjacent to the Odyssey Complex and the Harland & Wolff cranes. The nearest car parking is the Odyssey car park. Parking charges are listed on the PRONI website. PRONI provides a WiFi cafe, a public search room, a public reading room, public lecture rooms and exhibitions.
The PRONI website also offers online users a number of web applications for Wills, Names, Street Directories, Derry City Minute Books, the Ulster Covenant, and Freeholders.
The PRONI is open to the public by appointment only.
