National Museums Scotland

The National Museums Scotland Research Repository is an open access repository for the research produced by staff and research associates of National Museums Scotland. Research informs and supports almost every aspect of our work, be it curation, staging exhibitions, collecting, conserving and preserving objects, cultural programming or learning. Staff research enables others to discover and better understand our collections and we want to make our research outputs accessible to all. Research at National Museums Scotland covers a range of disciplines, including archaeology, decorative arts, Scottish history, world cultures, the history of science and technology and the natural sciences. Repository aims The aims of the repository are to:

1. Provide a reliable source of information about research undertaken by National Museums Scotland staff, individually or in collaboration with other research organisation.
2. Provide a single point of open access to our full-text research outputs wherever possible
3. Make our research easier to find, and enhance the contribution we make to UK and international research
4. Respond to the open access expectations of our research funders.

Material not produced by or in association with National Museum Scotland staff is not eligible for inclusion.
