'Women In The Archives'

The 'Women In The Archives' team are delighted to invite you to the launch of a new exhibition titled In Her Words at The Public Record Office Northern Ireland (PRONI) on Thursday 11th April at 12.30pm. 

In Her Words is a unique exhibition that brings forward the voices and experiences of unseen women, written by them in their own words, found in diaries and letters held by PRONI.

The exhibition will launch with talks by curator Lynsey Gillespie and Bronagh McAtasney, the woman behind the twitter @NrnIrnGirl1981, about the importance of diary writing and women’s own history.

This will also be the first opportunity to see the women’s history trail maps of Belfast City and Milltown cemeteries, produced by participants from our recent Women in the Archives: Buried in Belfast programme.

Please RSVP to lynsey.gillespie@communities-ni.gov.uk by the close of play on Friday 5 April to confirm your attendance.
