Digital Collections revamped!

The project to build St Andrews Digital Collections began in 2013 and we now

hold almost 300 items, all of which are either unique or of special significance

to St Andrews. Over the past few months we’ve made several improvements to

the site to make it easier for you to discover, navigate and to explore the

contents of the objects in the collections. Expect further developments in the

coming months! Find out more on the Library blog.

New access to Latin Dictionary

The Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources was the first ever

dictionary to focus on British Latin, covering the language from 6th century to

16th it was completed in print in 2013. We have recently purchased an online

version of the dictionary which will be of interest to medievalists and allows

for much faster searching and retrieval. You can access the dictionary from our

A-Z list of databases.

Franki Raffles archive

Dr Alistair Scott from Edinburgh Napier University recently discussed the

launch of the Franki Raffles Archive website www.frankirafflesarchive.org in a

guest blog post for us. Franki Raffles was, as Dr Scott explains in the post: "a

feminist social documentary photographer" and a St Andrews graduate.

Materials archived include photographic prints, negatives and notebooks,

which were deposited in our Special Collections and are in the process of being

digitising and catalogued. See the photographic collection for details.
