Archives Hub Scottish Art − Collection The National Galleries of Scotland holds the national collection of Scottish art, the most important of its kind in the world. Displays from this are shown across our galleries in Edinburgh, giving a picture of the country’s art from the turn of the sixteenth century to the present day. We work with other museums and galleries locally and internationally to promote the enjoyment of Scottish art as widely as possible and, with the aid of our libraries and archives, actively contribute to and encourage the study of Scottish art. Within our galleries, changing selections from the Scottish collections are shown within a wider international context. We also organise a regular programme of special exhibitions and displays focussing on particular Scottish artists or themes. We have used a broad definition of Scottish art that embraces art and artists with a whole range of differing associations with this country – from the artist’s nationality to the subject matter of the artwork.

Local BMD Project Over the last few years family historians in a growing number of counties and regions within the country have been working with their local Register Office staff to create on-line indexes. Each has been managed separately and an indication of the success of the project can be seen by the fact that there are now over 40 million records on-line under the Local BMD banner. The aim now is to encourage family historians in the rest of the country to join this project and begin working with their local register offices to put original birth, marriage and death indexes on-line. The start of UKBMD website and the Local BMD Project. In 1837 registration of births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales began, however this did not become compulsory until 1875 with the Births and Deaths Registration Act. Since 2000 a growing number of Family History Societies have been working with their local Register Offices to place indexes to births, marriages and deaths on-line. Can you volunteer to help?
