We look after and share Scotland's cultural heritage. Our teams work to manage and protect a vast collection that includes everything from ancient manuscripts to digital content. We make sure these items are well preserved, easy to access, and ready to be explored by everyone.
Our work goes beyond just keeping things safe. We bring Scotland's stories to life through exhibitions, events, and educational programmes. Whether you’re visiting online or in person, you will find a welcoming and safe space where there’s always something to discover.
In everything we do, our goal is to make the library a place of learning and discovery that's open to all, preserving the past and inspiring future generations.
