Organisation Outline:
The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) is the official place of deposit for public records in Northern Ireland. PRONI hold millions of documents which relate chiefly, but by no means exclusively, to present-day Northern Ireland. The earliest record dates from 1219, with the main concentration of records covering the period 1600 to the present.
Records fall into three general categories:
Government Departments; records of ministries such as Agriculture and Finance
Non-departmental public bodies; such as courts of law and local authorities
Private deposits; by individuals, churches, businesses and institutions.
