Marischal Virtual Museum
Marischal Museum is the result of gifts by graduates, staff and friends of the University of Aberdeen since the 18th century. It now has exceptionally rich collections, notably of Scottish history and archaeology, non-Western Ethnography, Egyptology and coins.

The Marischal Virtual Museum is a full record of views, QTVR panoramas, captions and layout of the museum galleries. It is underpinned by a rich database of thousands of objects, including all those on display, making it a rich resource for many purposes.

Search Catalogues
Three catalogue resources are accessible online:

• The University Library catalogue is available. By selecting Special Libraries from the collection option within the search form the search is restricted to only Special Libraries material.
• The online catalogue to the archives and manuscripts held by the University of Aberdeen.
• The Printed Collections collection level descriptions database.

Online Collections
Since the mid-1990s, Aberdeen University has greatly benefited from a series of external funding initiatives which have allowed Historic Collections to provide web access to elements of its written, printed, oral and visual resources.

Some projects have been carried through by Aberdeen University alone, whilst others were undertaken as contributions to larger projects which include material from numbers of participating institutions.

The resources available here stretch from digital versions of medieval manuscripts through to twentieth-century printed books, and from early photographs to recently recorded interviews.
