Following the Follett Review of Academic Libraries (1993) and the Joint Funding Council's Initiative for Specialist Research Collections in the Humanities, Aberdeen University's Department of Special Collections and Archives received funding to undertake:
  1. the retroconversion of catalogue records relating to older printed materials (e.g. Taylor Psalmody Collection, Phillips Pharmacology Collection). Records are currently being added to the Library OPAC;
  1. the preparation of a networkable database of archive collections descriptive lists, allowing full-text searching. Access to the majority of these lists is now available;
  1. a rolling programme to digitise sections of the Directorate's written, printed and visual resources.
