About

Paper Trail Online

Paper Trail offers free and independent support to victims and survivors of the conflict in Ireland and Britain. We help victims find critical evidence in archives and also share the skills we use to find such history-making information.

Paper Trail Online is our new e-learning platform to help victims and survivors 24 hours a day.  

Watch, listen, and learn at your own pace and in the comfort of your home. Each lesson is only a few minutes long and, because it is online, you can return to them whenever suits you.

Lessons include short videos, podcasts, workshops, and resources regarding these courses: 

(1) Legacy Archives: First Steps; and 

(2) Recording Lived Experiences (Oral History)
