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

Found Melrose kirk session minutes at ScotlandsPeople include lists of schoolmasters 1768-1854 parish by parish in Presbytery of Chirnside. Whole bunch of Berwickshire places! Melrose isn't even in Berwickshire 😜 Likely paper records muddling in Scottish Record Office / National Records of Scotland. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #School #Schools #History #ScottishHistory #NationalRecordsOfScotland #ScotlandsPeople #Archive #Archives #HistoricalResearch #Berwickshire #Melrose #Roxburghshire #Scotland

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

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
