ATL Remembrance Day Proposal

There is currently no shared day of remembrance for all those killed during the Troubles. ATL believes there should be one day to remember every victim equally.

The ATL Victims Archive

ATL has built the most comprehensive archive of those killed during the Troubles, combining the CAIN Sutton Index with the McKeown database to create a unified, detailed record of every known victim.
