There are a variety of ways in which the website can be searched:
Standard and Advanced Search
A standard search will search all three collections. The three collections come from the School of Scottish Studies Archives (University of Edinburgh), BBC Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland's Canna Collection.
Enter a keyword in the search box, choose which language(s) to search from the list of options, then click the 'Search' button. Examples are given of the types of searches you can do.
When searching for an exact phrase, the entire phrase should be enclosed in "double quotes". 'Single quotes' are treated as apostrophes.
In Advanced Search you can search using more than one field and limit searches in different ways e.g. by date. This is best used for complex searches.
Search by Country
Click a county on the map of Scotland to see items related to that county. The boundaries are based on the county structures as they were from 1890 to 1974.
Lucky Dip
Click on this button and a randomly selected item will play.
