Northern Ireland references
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reference (General)
N.B.: most of the links on the Ireland-Reference page provide information about Northern Ireland too. The links listed on this page deal specifically with Ulster. There are also numerous bibliographical references for Northern Ireland on the Ireland-Bibliography page.

(• Aspects of Ulster: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/martin_sloan/ This link is apparently abandoned or dead. If it has simply moved, the new address will be given as soon as it can be found.)
• CAIN Web Service (Conflict Archive on the INternet): http://cain.ulst.ac.uk This site contains information and source material on the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland from 1968 to the present, on politics in the region and on Northern Ireland society. It is updated regularly. Maintained by the University of Ulster, it is very complete.
• Newshound (Northern Ireland Archive): http://www.nuzhound.com/archive/index.php The archive is a collection of links to newspaper articles going back to October 1996. The search engine does not search the text of the articles, only the headlines. Although many of the links it provides are now dead, the home page provides advice on using the Google search engine to locate information still stored in the Google cache.
