almost all commercial companies are registered. Although many companies in Scotland were formed before this date, they were often partnerships between individuals or family concerns passed down from generation to generation. Under the Act companies became more independent from their original founders, and began to become autonomous actors within Scottish community and history in their own right. Unlike firms and businesses founded before the act, only a fraction of the history of these companies can be found in the biography of the individuals who created them. Instead the story of registered companies can only be told by the records and archives of the companies themselves. Therefore the records of these organisations are an incredibly precious and unique resource. For the business they create a corporate store of information and experience that is longer and more reliable than any human memory. This can be researched and tapped, adding prestige to the brand through its heritage, and allowing the company to learn from past choices, actions and interactions. However the records and archives can also provide a narrative of company interaction with employees, customers and communities. Historians are increasingly aware of the importance of this narrative in Scottish life, especially in the last hundred years, and seek ways of capturing these relationships for the historical record. Without business records and archives future researchers would be robbed of a complete picture of Scottish history, and future businesses would be deprived of the expertise and innovations documented within. Companies House files are the official, public record of a company’s existence and they generally contain memoranda of association, lists of shareholders and directors (including their occupation and address), financial statements and, once the company is dissolved, details of the winding up. 20 years after the dissolution of the company these records are passed onto the National Archives of Scotland, which holds them in place permanently in the BT2 series of records. This series has been incredibly important in research into Scottish business history, most notably by Peter L Payne in his analytical study ‘The Early Scottish Limited Companies 1856-1895’ (Scottish Academic Press, Edinburgh; 1980). However these records are only a fraction of material that a company generates during its existence, which may include records of higher management choices and decision making, technical records documenting innovation and design, and publicity and promotional material. This project sought to identify the whereabouts of the wider range of material, whether it was located in existing archival collections, private holdings, or forgotten in the basement of successor businesses. The spreadsheet provides additional information, and also some points of comparison with Payne’s work, and the work done by Lesley Richmond and Bridget Stockford in researching the thousand oldest companies in England and Wales (‘Company Archives’ published in 1986). 5 Project Outlines The aim of the project was to investigate the current state of the records and archives of the hundred oldest Scottish companies still registered with Companies House as of the date of employment of the most recent BACS Surveying Officer (1 st December 2010). Although not all of these companies

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
