What's On...

It's almost time for Doors Open Day!  It will take place this year on Saturday 11 September at Old Aberdeen House from 10am until 4.00pm.  More information can be found at our What's On section.

The first section of our online exhibition on The Homefront in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is now available!  Please click on the link to start your journey.  Work on the exhibition is ongoing, and more will be added to it in due course so keep checking back!  Please note that the exhibition may work better using Internet Explorer than other browsers.

Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives were involved in a number of activities throughout 2009.  Please visit our What's On pages for further information about what we were up to.

We have now come to the end of our second year of our Document of the Month feature.  We have showcased different documents from various collections each month and we hope that we have given people the opportunity to not only see what different archives are like, but also introduce a wider variety of items to our visitors.  Let us know what you think by contacting us at archives@aberdeencity.gov.uk.
