  1. Cursing the National Records of Scotland and their somewhat botched recent website upgrade for breaking lots of existing links to their content. Which can be a very big practical problem for researchers and their published work. Lots of their old website content now only available via a web archive. #website #NRS #NationalRecordsOfScotland #History #ScottishHistory #Archives

  2. Crikey. Just spotted that the Edinburgh General Session church records include an Edinburgh weather report for 1815-1820. Very detailed! National Records of Scotland volume CH2/131/2.

  3. “Land Girls” records released online - National Records of Scotland
    "... National Records of Scotland (NRS) has released digitised copies of the employment records of members of the Scottish Women’s Land Army and Timber Corps, who worked in fields and forests to keep the nation fed and warm during World War II..."

  4. Emailing the National Records of Scotland to ask if the RPS (Records of the Parliaments of Scotland to 1707) website is going to be fixed. Not feeling optimistic! I've just seen too many digital history resources break over time. #Histodon #Histodons #DigitalHumanities #DigitalHistory #ScottishHistory #NationalRecordsOfScotland #NRS

  5. Checking the National Records of Scotland web catalogue is reminding me again how much I wish it allowed wildcards or fuzzy name searches. Searching for someone called Fowler circa 1600 - even a courtier whose job was writing stuff (secretary for the queen) - requires a lot of variant name searches! #HistoricalResearch #ScottishHistory #NationalRecordsOfScotland #NRS #Archives #Catalogues #Catalogs #Search #Histodon #Histodons
