Rejected petition Keep Scottish Catholic Archives in Edinburgh
More details
The Scottish Catholic Archives are in Edinburgh so that academics and family historians can move seamlessly between the SCA and the National Library of Scotland and the National Records of Scotland. They are no more than 25 minutes walk from each other. The Scottish Catholic Bishops are proposing to move the older Historic Archives to Aberdeen University and to split the rest between eight diocesan centers, with inappropriate accommodation, little trained archival support and difficult access. It does not make sense!
