Evening Lecture in association with University of Aberdeen Museums and Society of Antiquaries of Scotland
For their richness and continuity, Aberdeen’s early council registers are among the most important urban legal records of fifteenth-century northern Europe. They represent the earliest and most complete body of surviving records of any Scottish town, and are inscribed on the UNESCO UK Memory of the World Register. This lecture will explore the nature of these burgh records, and present some of the work emerging from the three-year digital humanities project, Law in the Aberdeen Council Registers, which Dr Armstrong leads.
