The Signet Library 200th Anniversary Online Exhibition

Introduction

Thomas H. Shepherd, New County Hall, and Advocate’s Library [sic], in Shepherd, Modern Athens, 1829. The former is now the French Consulate, the latter is the Signet Library.

In commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the official opening of the Signet Library’s home in Edinburgh’s Parliament Square, the WS Society is opening this online exhibition which over the course of the year will explore the Signet Library’s history and collections as never before and to open international scholarly access to vital Library materials for the first time.

 The Signet Library 200th Anniversary Online Exhibition is divided into four sections which will be added to over the course of the anniversary year. Click on the image below to visit each section.
