(Brian) Bernard Ignatius Trainor (1928-2018)

摘要

Dr Brian Trainor was an indefatigable archivist and a scholar of phenomenal output and boundless enthusiasm. Possessed of superhuman energy and motivation, Brian can justifiably be considered the architect of the modern Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI). As Deputy Keeper of PRONI and subsequently Research Director of the Ulster Historical Foundation (UHF), he enjoyed not just one but two successful careers. Brian continued to be active in research throughout his life, and his passion never waned. He passed away at the age of 90 at his home in Belfast on 22 August 2018 after a life well lived.
