The National Records of Scotland’s online catalogue is the gateway to thousands of resources which may help with your ancestral research. Many of the archive’s collections are catalogued at item level, meaning you can search by an ancestor’s name or a location.

Many research documents needed for our research still lie in archives. The Scottish Archive Network catalogue is a good starting point to search holdings from over 50 archives across Scotland. The site has not been updated in many years, however, and so local archive websites should also be consulted.

The Scottish page on the UK and Ireland Genealogy platform leads you to dedicated pages on resources available across Scotland, which can be searched thematically or geographically. Many document transcription projects are also freely available from pages hosted on the site.
