The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland has launched the first of a series of monthly First World War records extracts, in what it describes as a 'blog', though which is in fact a link to a PDF document download. The August 2014 entry, now available at http://www.proni.gov.uk/august_2014.pdf, contains diary extracts and letters concerning the outbreak of the war, in an eleven page account. All documents quoted have source details included, with the purpose to help provide an idea of the range of materials available in Belfast.
The main access page is at http://www.proni.gov.uk/news_details.htm?newsRef=3236
