Answer
My Department has no plans to make the contents of PRONI’s eCatalogue available in such a way that it can be downloaded in a tabular format.
This proposed work would incur prohibitive costs.
It should be noted that PRONI’s existing online ‘eCatalogue’ is a fully searchable database containing over 1.5 million catalogue entries for records in PRONI’s archival holdings and is freely available via the PRONI website.
