PRONI Launches New Guide To Sporting Records
To commemorate National Sporting Heritage Day, the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) has released a new guide to its sporting records collection.
Communities Minister Gordon Lyons encouraged researchers to explore the Alphabetical Index to Sports Records at PRONI. He emphasised the rich diversity of sporting materials available, ranging from badminton to boxing and hockey to horse racing. The guide serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to delve deeper into Northern Ireland's sporting heritage.
The collection includes Olympic-related materials, such as papers pertaining to Dame Mary Peters, Northern Ireland's first female athletics gold medalist. This launch is particularly significant as the nation celebrates its latest Olympians and Paralympians at a homecoming event at the SSE Arena on Thursday.
PRONI houses several collections of interest to sports enthusiasts, including those of the Irish Football Association, Northern Ireland Women's Football Association, and the Northern Ireland Athletes Federation. The organisation also welcomes new deposits of sporting records, such as minutes, photographs, correspondence, and membership lists.
