Short Paper: "…provide a lasting legacy for Glasgow and the nation"Two years of transferring Scottish Cabinet records to National Records of Scotland

Abstract

This paper outlines the recent transfer of a series of high-level Scottish Government records to National Records of Scotland (NRS). The records needed to be made publicly available almost as soon as they arrived at our archive, and the transfers prompted NRS to consider how we could provide online access to born-digital records for two distinct use cases. This paper outlines; the background to this task, how NRS evaluated the solutions that could be used to deliver online access, and lessons learned from an enterprise carried out exclusively within the challenging context of the Covid-19 pandemic
