The University has seven museum collections, as well as its collections of archives and rare books. Items that might be linked together, perhaps from a particular person or a place, have often become scattered among these collections. Until recently it has been difficult to locate information to reunite materials that might once have been together. For further information about the collections, including items not yet catalogued, contact museums@abdn.ac.uk

These pages include only a few examples of relevant items from our collections. Explore here some of the connections between our collections, or make your own connections www.abdn.ac.uk/museums.
