About:

This project is directed toward understanding the conflict in Northern Ireland commonly known as the “Troubles” or “Conflict” which ran from 1968 to 1998. While there has been a great deal said and written about what took place, nowhere has the raw material (the raw data) about what took place been made publicly available to individuals so that they could explore for themselves.

On this webpage, you will find a general overview of the project, the sources that we will use, personnel involved in the data collection, personnel involved with leading discussion about the data base construction, photos from Northern Ireland and relevant links.

What Are Digital Archives?

A digital archive is a system for storing and preserving digital information, such as historical documents and contracts for long-term access and retrieval. The goal of digital archiving is to ensure the integrity and availability of digital assets by protecting them from loss and degradation.
