Description

Footage of the printing and binding of the Belfast Agreement, at Universities Press (Belfast) Ltd.

The cover declares 'The Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT IS YOUR FUTURE. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. It's your decision". These booklets were distributed to the people of Northern Ireland ahead of the referendum to decide on whether or not they agree on the terms. 

Notes

The agreement was approved by voters across the island of Ireland in two referendums held on 22 May 1998 and later signed on 10 April 1998. It served to end most of the violence of the Troubles, a political conflict in Northern Ireland that had been ongoing since the 1960s. It served as a major development in the Northern Ireland peace process of the 1990s. Northern Ireland's present devolved system of government is based on the agreement
