Check the Proni website before going because they are moving and will be closed for months. If your research is for before 1920, you can find most of Northern Ireland records at the National Archives of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland, both in Dublin and easy to get to by bus. What kind of research are you doing? The NLI has RC church records for Northern Ireland. Check this site for the POS number (film number) and the dates available: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/counties/rcmaps/ If you are looking at tithes, censuses or such, you will find them for all of Ireland at the Archives.
