Arranging an appointment
The University is currently closed following UK and Scottish Government instructions on Covid-19. It is not possible to make archive appointments at this time, but please contact us at archives@abertay.ac.uk about your query.
Please contact us to arrange your appointment. We currently have limited viewing facilities, so booking is essential. Appointments requested on the day you contact us, or the next day, are unlikely to be possible.
We need to know what you are looking for, so we can find out whether we hold records relevant to your project. You can check the Our Records page and our Online Catalogue, or contact us to identify records to help you. If there are records available, we will tell you what we have, and arrange an appointment with you.
Some of our collections have access restrictions on them, perhaps because they are very fragile or contain personal information. We will tell you before your visit about any access conditions that apply.
When you arrive, you will be asked to read the Archives Policy and Reading Room Guidance, and to sign a Visitor Declaration Form agreeing to follow them (see 'Related Documents' below). We are unable to give you access if you don’t sign the declaration.
