Description: From the mid-1980s, John, now Lord, Alderdice, was intimately involved in the Irish peace process. His archive spans more than thirty years of negotiation and implementation, from his early days in the Alliance Party in the 1980s, through his leadership of the party during several phases of multi-party talks in the 1990s, to the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement during his time as the first Speaker of the new Northern Ireland Assembly. It also includes a small section on the Sunningdale Conference, inherited from previous party leaders, as a testimony to the origins of the 1998 Agreement. The documents which can be viewed in this resource collection were used to model Brooke/Mayhew talks and span the period from 1985 to 1992. They are also contained in the John Alderdice Collection, which includes all the documents digitized by Quill. These documents were scanned and digitized by Ruth Murray, Harriet Carter, Sofia Panourgias and Annabel Harris.

Description: This collection of treaties, agreements, legislation, and joint statements relating to the status of Northern Ireland was commissioned by ARINS. The primary source materials in this resource collection were compiled by Harriet Carter and Ruth Murray, and are currently being used to construct a digital model of the Peace Process which will enable users to better understand the context within which key decisions and compromises were made, the origins of particular phrases, and the developing roles of individuals and political parties.

Description: Monica McWilliams is Emeritus Professor in the Transitional Justice Institute at Ulster University, and has campaigned tirelessly for peace and human rights in both Northern Ireland and the wider world for more than four decades. As co-founder of the Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition (NIWC), she was elected to the Multi-Party Talks in 1996 at a key juncture in the peace negotiations. The section of her archive digitized as part of this project focuses on the negotiation of the Good Friday Agreement (1996-1998) and the process of implementation during Professor McWilliams's time as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (1998-2003). The digitization of the Monica McWilliams Collection is a partnership with Queen's University. The physical archive is housed in the McClay Library, along with wider records of the NIWC and Professor McWilliams’s work with the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission.

Description: A selection of material relating to the Northern Irish Peace Process scanned at The National Archives of the UK. The files are mainly taken from the CJ 4 series (Northern Ireland Office records) and the PREM series (Office of the Prime Minister records). The organization of the files reflects their physical location within the Archive at Kew.

Description: This collection contains documents held by the National Archives of Ireland (NAI) relating to the peace process in Northern Ireland. It currently comprises a small selection of files from the Office of the Taoiseach, the Deparment of Justice and the Department of Foreign Affairs, all dating from 1996–1998. The National Archives of Ireland have kindly granted the Quill Project interim permission to publish our research scans, despite not meeting their usual reproduction standards.

Description: This collection should inform student editors as they are trained in the use of the Quill platform. It should also be a useful first point of reference for particular queries you may have whilst working on a project. It includes the data entry manual and links to training videos made by documentary editors at Quill.

Description: This collection comprises a selection of David Trimble's papers, held at McClay Library and Archives, Queen's University Belfast. The collection contains 13 lever arch files enclosing documents primarily pertaining to the 1996-1998 Multi-Party Talks, also known as the Mitchell Talks. As the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) during these talks, David Trimble played a crucial role, and his papers reflect the broad range of issues discussed. The collection includes speeches, press releases, letters, records of meetings, party submissions, position papers, and negotiated drafts, with a significant focus on decommissioning and procedural matters, often discussed during the Opening Plenary Meetings. The collection does not follow a specific classification order. However, some boxes address precise issues, with papers related to Strand One of the talks in box 7, documents pertaining to Strand Two in boxes 8 and 11, and materials concerning Strand Three in box 9. Additionally, boxes 12 and 13 mainly comprise David Trimble's private correspondence, and therefore fall outside the scope of what we consider to be publishable online without further copyright permissions. For this reason, we have only been able to display a small selection of papers from box 12 which pertain directly to the talks, and no papers from box 13.
