Source Sheets and Research Guides
We have a number of source sheets listing what we hold in the collections for certain subjects and a number of guides to get you started on your research.
Education Packs
Our education packs are created to support the Curriculum for Excellence and draw on archival resources to aid teaching in the classroom. All packs include worksheets and teachers’ notes and are available to download free of charge
