Highland collections available to a worldwide audience
The Highland Archive Service has announced the launch of its online catalogue, allowing users around the world to explore descriptions of almost 100,000 of its holdings
Until now, researchers wishing to find out more about Highland Archive Service holdings had to rely on printed catalogues available in the service’s searchrooms, with its digital catalogue accessible only to staff. Now its extensive archive catalogue can be explored online, with almost 100,000 descriptions of archives and library holdings held in four archive centres in Inverness, Portree, Fort William and Wick.
The catalogue will be regularly updated, with new content added on a monthly basis. You can search by text, reference number or archive centre to help you find entries relating to the subject you’re interested in, and once you have found records you’d like to view, you can contact the relevant archive centre about accessing them – either by booking an appointment to view them or by a member of staff conducting a remote enquiry on your behalf.
