The 'Academic research' section contains information for:

  • Academic researchers wishing to collaborate with the National Library of Scotland

We will also use these pages to publicise our research seminars and staff research activity.

 

 

A strategic priority

Cover of strategy document

Promoting research is one of the six strategic priorities of the Library's strategy for 2015-2020, 'The way forward':

We will encourage and promote research as a defining characteristic of the Library.

  • We will develop research collaborations across the humanities, sciences and business.
  • We will identify and support a series of research communities in areas aligned with our mission.
  • We will create a research fellowship programme that attracts scholars from around the world to work with the National Library's collections.
