About

The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) is the official archive for Northern Ireland.

For over 100 years, we have been the caretaker of Northern Ireland’s community memory and our shared archival heritage. This year, we are once again opening our doors for European Heritage Open Day to bring members of the public on tours of our archive.

In April 2024, we were delighted to launch the co-location of PRONI with the Historic Environment Record of Northern Ireland (HERoNI). Visitors will have the opportunity to speak with experienced PRONI and HERoNI staff members about their own research.

Visitors will be brought on a guided tour of the building. First, we will visit the public Search Room and Reading Room to discover how our visitors begin their research into family and local history. After this, the group will visit one of our purpose-built archival stores. They will then pay a visit to the Conservation Lab, to observe how damaged documents are repaired and treated. Finally, the group will visit the Reprographics Studio to discuss how documents are digitised and explore all things photography in the archive. 

5 behind-the-scenes tours throughout the day starting at 10.30, 11.30, 12.30, 2.00, 3.00 - Tours will be limited to 15 people.
