The Public Record Office NI (PRONI)

 

PRONI will be moving to a prominent position close to the Odyssey Arena and
adjacent to the Gateway building at the entrance to the Titanic Quarter,
Belfast.  It is scheduled to open to the public in May/June 2011.

 

In preparation for this, customers of PRONI are being given twelve months
notice that there will be a temporary change to service delivery between
September 2010 and May 2011.

 

To help alleviate the inconvenience to customers during a period of on-site
closure the amount and range of material available on-line will be extended.
This will include the Belfast Street Directories (pre-1901) going on-line in
September 2009 which will make the contents of 27 street directories for
Belfast and provincial towns available to a worldwide audience.  Additional
databases scheduled for completion in 2009/10 financial year include 1766
Religious Census Returns, 1775 Dissenters Petitions and the pre-1910
Coroners' Inquests.

 

More information can be found on the PRONI website at www.proni.gov.uk.
