Fears over Catholic archive fate

Prominent Scottish historians have voiced fears about the fate of a collection of Catholic archives of national importance.

They claim there has been a lack of consultation with academics about the Scottish Catholic Archives. The papers are presently held in Edinburgh but some collections are to go to Aberdeen University.

Professor Tom Devine, of Edinburgh University, said: "My beef is about lack of information, transparency and consultation with users, especially the community of academic historians and researchers in Scotland."

The Scottish Catholic Historical Association is unhappy at the move and has made its opposition known.
