This part of the National Archives
of Scotland website concerns the National Register of Archives
for Scotland (NRAS), which was set up in 1946 to compile a
record of collections of private papers in Scotland, to encourage
their care, and to make information about them available to
researchers and others.
General
While landed families and law firms have generally proved to
hold the most extensive and varied collections, the private
individual is just as likely to own papers - everyday items
such as letters, diaries, account books and photographs - which
may throw new light on past events and contain information nowhere
else available. The National Register of Archives for Scotland
(NRAS) has to depend on the owners or custodians of such material
making themselves known and asking for advice on the historical
significance of their holdings. |
