PRESERVATION WEEK
When: Monday 8th to Friday 12th December.

During Preservation Week, many of our Preservation & Collections Management staff will be dedicating their time to the vital work that goes on behind the scenes
During the week we will be posting articles on our website about preservation, reprographics, preventative conservation, digital preservation and emergency planning. We hope to have lots of photos (and maybe some videos!) to show you just what we get up to behind the scenes.

Please note there will be a limited service during Preservation Week. There will be NO Document Production but the Public Search Room, including Self-Service Microfilm area, will be operating as normal.

Also - there is a change in opening hours during December. PRONI will close at 4.45pm on the following Thursday evenings: 4th, 11th and 18th December 2014 and 8th January 2015.
