Public Record Office of Northern Ireland

Join us on Saturday 26 November, from 1-5pm to begin Explore Your Archives Week and celebrate the CollabArchive project.

Join us on Saturday 26 November, from 1-5pm, to begin our Explore Your Archives week programme and celebrate the CollabArchive project.CollabArchive opened PRONI’s archives to over 60 participants who took part in five creative engagement programmes throughout 2022. During the project, the participants brought forward collections in creative ways, gained digital skills, and created new records for future generations. Some participants went on to volunteer with PRONI and helped enhance public access to a number of collections. During the event you will:•	See selected original records that were used and made more accessible by the project, including Roberta Hewitt’s diaries and papers, asylum records, emigration letters, and LGBTQ+ official and private papers.•	Watch short videos created by the participants including Ruby, an animated film about Roberta Hewitt, and Music Tales, a series of short interviews about music in people’s lives.•	Listen to podcasts created by the participants about emigrant letters and asylum patients.•	See a collection of zines about issues that are important to the participants and read handwritten letters about current migration experiences. CollabArchive is a year-long digital volunteering project led by the Nerve Centre and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s ‘Digital Skills for Heritage’ initiative.Lunch will be served; the event is free to attend but booking is required.
