Dundee City Archives

To celebrate the 50^th anniversary of Dundee City Archives we will be offering special tours behind the scenes at the archives. Tours will include a chance to get up close with some original documents covering Dundee’s history from the 14^th century to the present day. See documents from some of our key collections, including the Keiller Collection, Caledon Shipbuilders Collection and the Dundee Harbour Trust Collection. Find out more about Dundee’s history and the people who have lived here. Some of our volunteers will also be on hand to explain about the work they have been doing at the Archives.

Tours will take place at 10:00am, 10:30am, 11:30am and 12:00pm. Booking is essential for the tours as spaces are limited. Each tour will take around 45 minutes.
