  • Introductory Guide to Midlothian Archives, PDF
    Midlothian Council Archives An Introductory Guide Arrangement of this Guide You are probably familiar with the arrangement of a traditional library. All of the books on a particular subject are kept together in one place. Archives are arranged differently. They are arranged by collection or series to protect the original order of the records. Each section is given a unique identifying code (for example, Midlothian Burgh Council has the prefix MBC). This means that information on a particular subject may be located in more than one part of the archive. This guide has been organised by general themes which correspond to the way that the archive has been catalogued. There is some overlap between sections so it is worth checking between them. There is a glossary of unfamiliar terms and an index at the rear of the guide. Section Title Page 1 Local Authority Records 2 2 People, Family and Communities 9 3 Land and Estate Records 16 4 Business and Trade Records 17 5 Unions, Guilds and Associations 17 6 Politics and the State 18 7 Leisure and Recreation 18 8 Church and Philanthropy 19 Glossary 20 Index 21 Map of Midlothian Introduction Midlothian is the local government area to the south of Edinburgh.
