The National Archives today joined the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), an advocate and catalyst for digital preservation, enables members to deliver resilient long-term access to content and services and helps them derive enduring value from digital collections.

New online resources at the National Archives—the Tithe Applotment Books (1823—1837) and the Soldiers' Wills—a collection of 9,000 Wills of Irish soldiers in the British Army who were killed during World War 1 have been launched by  Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Minister Jimmy Deenihan.

A range of digitised archival documents relating to the conflict in Northern Ireland have been published on the University of Ulster’s CAIN (Conflict Archive on the INternet) web site. The site provides an extensive range of information and source material on the conflict and politics of Northern Ireland from 1968 to the present day (see http://cain.ulster.ac.uk).
