| The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 applies to
all public authorities. Under the Act a record of a public
authority becomes a 'historical record' at the end
of a period of 30 years. The National Archives of Scotland
holds a large number of Scottish Government and agency files
which become 'historical records' at the turn of
each new calendar year. |
|
From 1 January 2009, about 1,470 additional Scottish Government
files can be viewed by the public without the need to submit a formal
written Freedom of Information request. To assist researchers with
accessing this new material therefore, we are publishing a list
of those files which can be viewed without restriction in our West
Search Room from 5 January.
