- Local History Sources in PRONI
- Online PRONI Resources

You will need to give at least 4 weeks notice. There is no guarantee that your booking will be accepted as we can only deliver so many talks each month. A talk would last 40 minutes.
2. Tour of research facilities
You can request a tour of PRONI. The tour will provide an overview of using the research facilities, introduce our services, and outline our current exhibition. Tours last around 40 minutes.
You will need to give at least 2 weeks notice. If you have allowed enough time following a talk or lecture, you can also request a tour of the building.
3. Tailor-made talks / workshops
You can request a tailor-made talk or workshop; however you would need to give us at least 8 weeks advance notice because of the extra preparation time that is involved.
Where are the talks/lectures held?
All our talks are delivered in the lecture room at PRONI, which accommodates 100 people and is located on the ground floor. A number of specialist lectures are also delivered by PRONI staff and guest speakers in conjunction with other local organisations.
