Malcolm Sutton's book 'An Index of Deaths from the Conflict in Ireland, 1969-1993' was published in 1994. This was the first published listing of deaths that resulted from the conflict. With his permission the information - updated and revised - was published on the CAIN site in October 1999. Later it was updated to December 2001. The full dataset and search facilities are to be found in the main section of CAIN at this URL:

This remains the only full-text listing of deaths available and searchable on-line.

As part of the CAIN / AHRC-funded project the main CAIN chronology was updated with information on deaths from the conflict and at the same time links were added between this main chronology and Sutton's 'Index of Deaths'. As a first step all incidents involving multiple deaths, and also significant individual deaths, are now linked to Sutton's information by one of the following 'buttons':
