PRONI Images on Flickr

Introduction

Images from the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) archives are now available on the photo-sharing website 'Flickr' .  A selection of images from the Allison photographic collection can now be viewed on PRONI's Flickr Photostream .

You can view the images without a Flickr account.  If you want to leave comments about the photographs, you will have to create a Flickr account .  A basic Flickr account is free.

Allison Photographic Collection

The first collection of PRONI images to be made available on Flickr are wedding and family group portraits taken by the Allison Photographic Studios, Armagh, between circa 1900 and 1955.

The photos are arranged in sets alphabetically by family name, or you can use the search box to search for a particular name - just make sure you are searching the PRONI Photostream and not the entire Flickr site! Take a look to see if any of your ancestors appear in the shots and feel free to add a comment.

Initially, 200 images have been uploaded to Flickr, with further photos being added in batches during December 2010 and early 2011 until the entire collection of 1530 wedding and family group portraits are available. Please check back over coming months as more and more images are added.
