Historic documents to be put on display as part of a regional tour of local libraries by PRONI

A Seamus Heaney letter and passenger logs from emigration ships that departed Foyle Port for North America in the mid-1800s are to be put on display as part of a regional tour of local libraries by the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI).

Currently celebrating its centenary, PRONI is taking some of its most interesting records on the road, visiting Derry Central Library on 21st November and Enniskillen Library on 14th December, with further visits, including to Lurgan Library, planned for the New Year.

The initiative, which has been organised in partnership with Libraries NI, will see historical documents specific to the region put on display at each local library.
