Sammelschwerpunkte/Main collections
From its establishment Blairs College was recognised as a safe place to receive and preserve artefacts relating to Scotland’s Catholic heritage. Over the years Blairs accumulated an internationally renowned collection of fine and decorative art from a number of benefactors, including; Bishops, priests and friends of Blairs as well as inheriting important collections from the former Scots Colleges throughout Europe. When the College closed in 1986, an independent Trust was created, overseen by the Scottish Catholic Heritage Commission, to preserve, interpret and display this important collection of religious heritage.
Today, Blairs Museum gives visitors a unique insight into Scotland’s Catholic heritage, providing an enjoyable, memorable, and inspiring experience for all.
The curator is keen to engage with visitors who are interested in particular items in the collection.
Highlights include:
Paintings
Sacred Silver and Gold
Church Textiles

Sammelschwerpunkte/Main collections
The Herbarium is the only significant plant collection in the North of Scotland. The University has recognised that the collection is a valuable source of reference and, particularly with regard to SE Asia, is of international standing. The material for Thailand, for example, is regarded as the second most important collection of its kind in the world. The collection is used in undergraduate teaching and has sustained a considerable number of postgraduate research projects as well as underpinning staff research. Material is loaned to other herbaria for research and this is a reciprocal arrangement dependent on the Herbarium's formal status in Index Herbariorum. Material is also used for identification of plants for research workers, public bodies and amateurs and the staff of the Herbarium provide this service free of charge.

University of Aberdeen
Sammelschwerpunkte/Main collections
In the centre of Aberdeen, the Museum lies in the University of Aberdeen's Marischal College, the second-largest granite structure in the world. The museum was founded in 1786, with material that has been donated by generations of friends and graduates of the University. This has resulted in collections of high quality material, most notably Egyptian and Classical antiquities, non-Western ethnography, Scottish prehistory and numismatics, that rank alongside the largest in Scotland. Today, the care of these collections is enhanced by a purpose-built conservation laboratory.
The museum has an excellent track record of ensuring that its collection is used to inspire and educate a wide range of visitors through innovative exhibitions, evening lectures, an award-winning schools service, a young archaeologists club, resources for higher education and support for researchers.
From July 2008 the displays of Marischal Museum will be closed to the public, due to building work taking place elsewhere in the College. Please contact the museum for information about study access, schools service and special exhibitions.

Natural Philosophy Collection

Sammelschwerpunkte/Main collections
Our collection represents equipment used for over 250 years of teaching and research in Natural Philosophy, the name traditionally used in Scottish Universities for Physics. Areas of interest covered include mechanics, optics, electricity and magnetism, sound, heat, astronomy, meteorology, surveying, radiation, X-rays in medicine and crystallography, electronics, computing, properties of materials, precision instrumentation and related subjects. It is one of the best such collections kept by any Physics Department in Britain, both in respect of the range of subjects covered and the continuity over the past two hundred years.
Some items may be seen in our permanent public display accessible from the foyer of the Fraser Noble Building. This display is open on weekdays from 0830 to 1800. An additional adjacent case is used for displays of contemporaty relevance. Other items can be seen in the public gallery at the Marischal Museum but in all only a small fraction of our collection can be viewed. To compensate for this lack of gallery space, it is our intention to make more and more of the collection accessible in these pages over the next few years. You can explore our collection through the links shown in the table on the left-hand side of our pages.
Our logo, bottom left, is a symbolic figure of a 'balancing cube', a piece used by one of the pioneers of the University teaching of natural philosophy through the use of demonstration apparatus - Professor Patrick Copland (1748 - 1822)of Marischal College, Aberdeen. The London instrument maker T. Jones retailed this demonstration piece but Copland was both a Professor and a skilled scientific instrument maker who had little in the way of resources to buy commercial productions. Much of his equipment was made by his own hand in his own workshop to a very high standard of craftsmanship.

Professor Nigel H. Trewin

Aberdeen University
Sammelschwerpunkte/Main collections
The University has of national and international importance, each one ranking amongst the finest in the country. They are used for teaching and research at all levels.
The Department of Geology and Petroleum Geology houses extensive collections of minerals (c. 12,000), rocks (c. 9,000) and fossils (c.12,000). A selection of mineral and fossil material is on display in corridor areas of the Department, and members of the public can visit by arrangement through the Department.
The Gordon Collection, a bequest to the Department by the Rev. J.M. Gordon in memory of his father, forms the basis of the Mineral Collection that contains excellent material of world-wide origin, including specimens from classic localities now lost to science.
The Rock Collection has strength in local and Scottish rock types, but also includes much material of world-wide origin. Much of the material was collected and added to the collection by Prof. T.C. Phemister. The collection is valuable in that many localities are no longer available for collecting.
The Palaeontology Collection contains numerous specimens, particularly corals and bryozoans, collected in the 19th C by Prof H. A. Nicholson. The collection contains over 500 'Type and Figured' specimens for which a published catalogue exists.
Although some material dates back to the time of Prof James Nicol, it was Prof H.A. Nicholson who created the basis of the collection and who added a large number of fossil corals and bryozoa. Recent additions to the collection include the A.G. Lyon Collection of Rhynie chert plants (mainly peels), and also newly discovered arthropods from the Windyfield chert; both deposits occur near Rhynie, Aberdeenshire, and are of Early Devonian age. Other recent acquisitions include type material of trace fossils from the Permian of the Falkland Islands, and Devonian fossil fish material from the Midland Valley and Caithness.
The collections are mainly used for research and teaching. Material is made available for study on an international basis.
