INTRODUCTION
Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives holds various records relating to the Church of Scotland in Aberdeen. The records are held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives on behalf of the National Archives of Scotland under what is known as ‘Charge and Superintendence’. When the Church of Scotland deposited its records in Edinburgh, a decision was made that where there were suitable repositories, local records would be held in their area of origin. As a result, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives was designated as a suitable repository and various records were returned to the city. Microfilm copies of the majority of the original volumes can be viewed in the National Archives in Edinburgh.
All Church of Scotland records begin with the reference CH2 followed by the number allocated to that particular church. For example, St Nicholas is referenced 448, therefore the full reference number for the records of the St Nicholas Kirk Session is CH2/448 followed by the item number.
If you wish to look at any of the records, please note the reference number (this always starts with CH2 for records relating to the Church of Scotland) and take care to ensure the record you wish to view covers the correct dates.
You do not need to note the description of the item, only the reference, but please ensure you have identified the correct item. If you are unsure of what an item is, staff are available to help. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any queries regarding this guide and the information contained within.
Please note that there may be other records relating to the churches detailed in this guide which are not held under Charge and Superintendence. If you are unable to find a record, please do not hesitate to ask staff for further information and guidance.
