Work and meeting space available to members.
Writers to the Signet and members of WS firms are warmly invited to visit and work in the modern accommodation of the Upper West Library, a pleasant atmosphere for working which offers natural light, flexible desk space with access to Westlaw, wifi, coffee and meeting facilities.
Most of our services can be accessed from the convenience of your own desk or office. We will deliver case reports, legislation and extracts from legal authorities directly to your desktop via email, and send books and other materials via DX or post. Most requests can be fulfilled on the same day. Our PSL research and consultancy service, providing precedents, briefing notes and reports, can also be accessed remotely – just telephone 0131 220 3249 or email library@wssociety.co.uk to discuss your requirements.
With the long history of Writers to the Signet contributing to the rich tradition of historical writing in Edinburgh and Scotland we would also mention that the Library subscribes to a wide range of historical journals and publications including many of Scotland’s historical and archaeological societies and those issued by the Scottish Record Society, the Scottish Historical Society, the Stair Society and the Society of Antiquaries. The Society’s own rich archives and collections of books, manuscripts and papers are all available for members to draw on for their own work.
