As: editor
Description: This negotiation contains a selection of mini-models designed to provide an insight into the ongoing work of PACT and to demonstrate Quill's approach to visualising the archive material and tracking the process of negotiation. It differs from our usual approach in that we will be presenting only certain documents and moments in isolation, rather than including everything tabled during the course of a negotiation. This collection is still under construction, and we will be regularly adding small amounts of new material.

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.
