This month, we will be celebrating our PRONI 100 theme of 'Pride at PRONI' to highlight some of the prominent LGBTQ+ collections we hold!🌈 We wanted to kick this month off with this colourful image of the first Belfast Pride in June 1991 (PRONI ref D4779/8/1) courtesy of NIGRA.

Great to have Lynsey Gillespie from PRONI & @BeebsyMcA from Northern Ireland Screen with us last Friday! They shared invaluable insights with our first-year students on the role of archives in Visual Storytelling, navigating copyright issues, and creative reuse. 🌟

It's not all about archives! Buildings and objects Ulster Folk Museum will also be examined as part of our CDP studentship with School of Museum Studies, funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council. For further details, please visit: le.ac.uk/rcmg/current-n…. Deadline 20th May 2024! ⏰

Like a proud work Mummy of my wee team! Such a great time as always at the Balmoral Show 🤍

#OnThisDay 80 years ago, Operation Overlord took place on the beaches of Normandy. To mark the anniversary of D-Day, we have brought you a signed quote from Winston Churchill written on 12/06/1944. “As it was in the beginning, so may it continue, to its end.” PRONI Ref - D3746

Many thanks to Lynsey Gillespie for helping our students Em, Lauren and Izzie with their research at PRONI today. They are busy working with Foyle Film Festival Northern Ireland Screen on a VERY cool LGBTQ+ project for this year’s Foyle Film Festival. Watch this space 👀

Massive thank you to National Archives, Ireland for hosting us in Dublin!🎉 It was inspiring to hear about their latest exhibition ‘Society & State: Ireland Through Its Record’ and the importance of the 1926 census in Irish history.

My Dad and I have driven out of our way to get to a duck donuts on more than one occasion in the US. Think Norah and I will be spending many of our Mondays on the ormeau 😂

Can't wait to return to my beloved PRONI & work with Lynsey Gillespie @BeebsyMcA as part of this year's ESRC Festival NI. We're offering a FUN (+ free) Film Camp for 12-16 year-olds and will capture vox pop videos for the archives. Book a place here: shorturl.at/Hzf2Y

We all face moments when things feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Remember, you are not alone.

Made it to a very sunny Venice and looking forward to our presentation tomorrow, talking about some of my favourite programmes PRONI with my fave people Dr. Laura Aguiar @BeebsyMcA

What a venue 😍

We had a great time in Venice talking about our Rathmullan Film Fest + PRONI + Northern Ireland Screen collabs. Festivals and archives are a match made in heaven: Great way to build new audiences, connect with local heritage, experiment with digital tech & promote film culture in rural areas.

Very excited to get open for full service on a weekend! If you can please come and visit, there is so much to do and discover!
