Records searches and information recovery

PRONI 

Records can be retrieved by submitting a Subject Access Request to the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) requesting an individual’s own information.

The best way to identify if PRONI holds information for an institution on a particular date is to check the PRONI catalogue(external link opens in a new window / tab).
