It outlines some of the difficulties which the project met, and also the successes—the way that many participants were willing to give considerable information for the historical record. It argues that such projects can provide for the wider academic public the type of insight which is normally only given to academics in private briefing sessions. It points to several particularly rich areas where the archive can be used for theses or monographs.113188 bytesapplication/pdfenGood Friday AgreementArchiveInterviewsNegotiationsGreat Britain.
