Description: | The Special Collections Manuscripts, Archives and Personal Papers in the Centre for Research Collections hold several thousand linear metres of manuscripts & archives that have been acquired by gift, deposit or purchase. They include early mediaeval and Middle Eastern manuscripts dating from the 9th century, the papers of major Scottish Enlightenment figures, architectural drawings and the papers of 17th - 20th century scientists. These collections are quite diverse but largely reflect the collection’s strengths in the areas of medical and scientific history, Scottish literature, Middle Eastern studies, architecture, music, Gaelic and Celtic studies and theology. Most of these are catalogued to at least collection level in a Manuscripts and Archives catalogue. Further acquisitions will enhance these strengths and lay down foundations (where appropriate) for new ones. | Subjects: | Scottish History History History of Science Manuscript Archives Drawings | Source: | University of Edinburgh | Address: | Old College, South Bridge,
