My blog post about 19th century Scottish passport records held by Edinburgh City Archives and digitised by Ancestry. Musings on their use for genealogists and academic historians. And marvelling at my ggg-granddad's Paris trip. https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2024/05/09/19th-century-scottish-passport-records/ #tourism #travel #nineteenthCentury #19thCentury #archive #archives #historicalResearch #genealogy #familyHistory #ScottishHistory #Edinburgh #Paris #academicHistory #Ancestry #ECA #EdinburghCityArchives #ScottishBorders #Kelso

So glad I could attend virtually the book launch for “Scotland's Transnational Heritage: Legacies of Empire, Trade and Slavery”. Insightful speakers and a very lively discussion about many issues related to this important topic. I’ve ordered me a copy of the book. https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-scotland-s-transnational-heritage.html #ScottishHistory #Scotland #Slavery #SlaveryHistory #BlackHistory #Empire #Colonialism #Museums #MuseumStudies #PopularHistory #PublicHistory #Books #BookLaunch #AcademicHistory #History #Heritage #Trade
