How we interpret our collections can increase people’s
understanding of human history and the natural environment. Our
research unearths the significance of the millions of objects in
our care and shares it with a wide audience, in Scotland and
abroad.
In recognition of our work, National Museums Scotland has been
validated as an Independent Research Organisation by the Arts and
Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Natural Environment
Research Council (NERC).
Recently published books and articles by National Museums
Scotland staff can be found in our Research repository.
This archive enables us to make our research more widely
available to all and to ensure materials are preserved to maintain
access in the future.
