Heritage Collections

The University’s Heritage Collections span across manuscripts, art, early and rare printed books, musical instruments and much more. 

Our collections are used in teaching and research every day at the University, and can be consulted at the Centre for Research Collections (Main Library), New College Library (The Mound), St Cecilia’s Hall (Cowgate) and the School of Scottish Studies Archive & Library (George Square).
