The three-day online resource fair will highlight resources, provide information sessions and showcase contributions from the Public Records Office, Northern Ireland Screen and many others.

The event will take place between February 24 and 26 between 10am and 4pm.

The Community Relations Council says that the morning sessions will be short information sessions to quickly highlight the resources that are available while the afternoons will have demonstrations of some of those resources in action.
