Index to Significant Private Deposits

As well as being the official archive for public records in Northern Ireland, PRONI are the proud custodians of significant private deposits. 

You can access introductions to many of our significant private deposits online by using the search function in the eCatalogue and searching for the PRONI archive reference, where you will be able to view the introduction in the description.

The below table is an index of private deposits with these introductions and their corresponding archive references. The index is organised A-Z, typically by surname if the archive is named after an individual.
