Scottish Emigration Museum - The Project
The Scottish Emigration Museum will present a wide range of emigration-related materials through themed or story-led, virtual exhibitions.
As well as focussing on a number of famous Scottish emigrants and their lasting legacy in societies throughout the world, the resource will also convey the story of everyday emigration and the impacts of community emigration.
It will be the first of its kind and is only possible due to the richness of the collections existing both in Scotland and diaspora countries at national, regional and local levels.
The Scottish Emigration Museum will go beyond both genealogy websites and specialist academic resources to present an accessible, colourful and emotive account of the overall Scottish emigration story.
