  About us

Please note that the Scottish Archive Network (SCAN) project has ended. The SCAN website and its other products are maintained by the National Records of Scotland (NRS) on behalf of the Directors of the Scottish Archive Network Ltd.


The Scottish Archive Network was a project whose partners were the National Archives of Scotland (NAS), the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), and the Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU).

The project aimed to revolutionise access to Scotland's archives by providing a single electronic catalogue to the holdings of more than 50 Scottish archives.

To preserve fragile historical records and improve their accessibility SCAN digitised records on a huge scale.

The National Records of Scotland now maintains the www.scan.org.uk, www.scottishhandwriting.com, and www.scottishdocuments.com websites.
