Northern Ireland conflict archives should not fall into police hands
In 2001, three short years after the Good Friday agreement had seemingly
drawn the curtain on the violent political conflict in the north of
Ireland, the Belfast Project took its first breath. It was devised in
Boston College, Massachusetts, by specialists in the study of Irish
affairs and the archiving of matters flowing from such study. Its
specific purpose was to enhance knowledge about the Northern Ireland
conflict through tapping into the minds of those who were involved, and
whose narratives would be lost forever, were some effort not made to
retrieve them for posterity and wider society.
