Learning

Welcome to the Learning section of the National Archives of Scotland (NAS) website, which promotes the use of archives and helps teachers and students of all ages understand the content and context of historical records. Our Outreach Services Branch creates resources to support the Scottish school curriculum and lifelong learning, and arranges talks and group visits in the NAS by members of staff.

Teachers and pupils
Scottish Archives for Schools (SAfS) is our education website designed to support the Curriculum for excellence in primary and secondary schools. It contains online resources using documents, photographs, maps and plans. Visit SAfS for details of our publications and workshop programme for 2007.

Scottish Archive Network education modules
The NAS is a partner in the Scottish Archive Network (SCAN) which links over 50 participating archives across the country. SCAN’s website contains an education micro-site with four modules designed to support learning and teaching of History in Scottish schools. Visit the SCAN website for units on Using Sources, Coal Mining in Scotland, Public Health and Housing, and Women's Suffrage in Scotland, which feature a variety of historical records from SCAN's participating archives.

Publications
The NAS has been making the archives of Scotland available through its publications since the early 19th century. So whether you are studying history or reading it purely for your own pleasure, our range of Publications can help bring the past alive.

Palaeography

As part of its commitment to lifelong learning, the NAS helps researchers who encounter difficulties reading manuscript sources of information written before the era of modern handwriting and standard English. Read more about how the NAS can help you obtain knowledge of Palaeography.
