TNA Records on CAIN
About this section
 The Public Records
This section within the CAIN Web site contains some of the public records related to the conflict and politics in Northern Ireland that were released on an ad hoc basis by The National Archives at Kew. The records are from the years 1994 and 1997. The selection of records was made to complement the key events and issues that are covered on CAIN.
The Digital Collection
Currently there are 26 public records from The National Archives on the CAIN site. It is hoped to be able to expand this selection in the future.
Finding Records
The main method of locating records is via the search page. However it is also possible to browse lists of the documents. In addition links to records from The National Archives, Ireland, have also been added within the main CAIN Chronologies. These links are highlighted by the following image: 
Record Citation
An example of a citation/reference for a record is as follows:

This is made up of:
the author; the year the document was produced; the title of the record; an exact date - day, month, year - if available; a note - if required - to suplement the title; the TNA reference number for the record; the number of pages; the place when the file is stored (all London); and the holding organisation (all The National Archives).
The Menu Bars
The above menu bar provides links to information about the records from The National Archives, and also links to allow users to browse the records or use the search facility. This menu bar is used on all the pages related to the records from The National Archives.
The menu bar at the bottom of each page is a standard CAIN menu and contains links to the main CAIN Web site.
