Description: Booklet entitled 'Ulster's Finances.' This pamphlet attacks the view that Northern Ireland would not be economically viable without economic support from the UK Exchequer. The author argues that the NI public have been conditioned to accept this argument so that they would be less likely to challenge policies from the UK government towards NI which they might otherwise find unacceptable.

Notes: National Museums NI

National Museums NI holds over a million objects in the collection, as well as this we manage the records and associated images for each object through a working database. The national collection has been almost 200 years in the making, and we recognise that thinking about collecting and collections has evolved over this time and continues to evolve. As a result, some of our records may contain language and views that we now consider offensive and unacceptable, for example, reflecting racist attitudes. We are committed to addressing these issues, and to reviewing and updating our records accordingly. Working with researchers, communities and academic partners we are learning more about the stories behind objects, and we are committed to sharing these with our audiences. We welcome feedback.
