Selections of the Month
Welcome to Selections of the Month; the page on which are displayed historic photographs and advertisements as chosen by members of the Local Studies Team. Reflecting on a different topic each month, these pages will explore the social, economic and recreational history of our City
This is an opportunity to highlight our photographic archive and the variety of sources such as trade directories, holiday guides and newspaper supplements which often contained richly produced and illustrated adverts. Previous Selections of the Month pages will be available for viewing using the link at the bottom of this page.
In alternate months during 2010 we will feature photographs and advertisements relating to the Scottish Local History week theme for this year "Shops and Shopping".Learn more at our Shops and Shopping page.
As Aberdeen Art Gallery begins a series of celebrations to mark its 125th year we feature this month items held in the Local Studies collection relating to Galleries and Museums.
