Local Studies Library Collection
The Hub has a wide range of books on the history and most aspects of life in the Scottish Borders - a very useful resource for people who want to research the house and place where they live or trace the history and background of their ancestors.
The collection, which is reference only, includes:
- Village, town and county histories
- Studies of local trades and agriculture
- Statistical Accounts
- Reports of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland
- Trade directories
- Family histories and genealogy guides
- Indexed transcriptions of 19th century census returns
- Monumental inscriptions
We also have
- A major collection of postcards
- Ordnance Survey and other maps
We can help enquirers to access the full local studies collection which is held at Library Headquarters in Selkirk.
