Back issues of The Scottish Genealogist

Back issues of the Society's journal, The Scottish Genealogist, are available as Adobe Acrobat .pdf downloads for the period from 1954 (when the journal was first published) to 2005. Issues of the journal from 2006 onwards are available in printed form only. Most of the Adobe Acrobat .pdf files are around 1 Mb but more recent issues with more illustrations and colour can be up to 9 Mb. Files will be available for download as soon as you have completed your order; this is via a link on the final page of the checkout process (when you view your receipt). You will also be sent an E-Mail with one or more download links which you can use for up to 48 hours after placing your order. The Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free of charge from www.adobe.com.

You can browse the contents of the journals by navigating to the relevant sections of this catalogue or you can use the search facility at the top of this page to search either the whole catalogue or the back issues section only. You can also use this index (opens a new window) which is also linked from the Society's homepage (opens a new window) via the 'Back issues index' link on the main menu. The index lists articles, authors, illustrations, obituaries, queries, reviews and work-in-progress and index entries link directly to the relevant back issue in this catalogue.

Please note that:

- pages are images of the originals and are not searchable. In order to minimise file sizes, black and white pages (plain text) have been scanned as black and white images, pages with greyscale images have been scanned as greyscale images and pages with colour images have been scanned as colour images. This means that a single back issue may contain pages in black and white, pages in greyscale and pages in colour.

- the index for queries (requests for information from members) from March 1954 to December 1981 usually includes a surname, forename and location or area, the index for queries from March 1982 to December 1987 only shows a surname and from March 1998 queries were not indexed.

- the contact information provided in queries may be out of date for earlier issues of the journal, nor are contact details always given. Queries are included not only because they may enable contact with other researchers but because they can provide important genealogical information in themselves.

- certain items have been omitted from the contents listings, including editorials, forthcoming events, additions to the library, Reports of the Council, accounts and so on.
