The Scotsman Reports records of Edinburgh’s rich past could be lost forever because of staff shortages and inadequate storage at the city archive, leading Scots historians have warned.
Thousands of artefacts, detailing the history of the capital from the tenth century to the present day, are kept beneath the City Chambers and in a warehouse at Murrayburn.

Libraries valued, but not their methodologies
Isn’t it strange how libraries hold priceless artefacts of history and yet libraries that hold these items and are caretakers of these items are not equally valued by way of budget cuts and staff shortages? Maybe libraries are valued but libraries’ methodologies are so outdated and therefore not valued any longer in the eyes of those in government. Secretaries are valued if they use Word, Excel and so forth, but if they can use a typewriter then they are not so useful.
