                  How does Your Scottish Archives work?

                  Your Scottish Archives works in partnership with Archives Hub to collect catalogue data for archives held in Scotland. The process for this is:

                  1. Archive services submit catalogue information to Archives Hub
                  2. With each archival repository’s consent, this catalogue information is mirrored in Your Scottish Archives through a digital link known as an API.
                  3. When an archival repository wishes to add, amend or delete catalogue data, this can be done at any time through Archives Hub. Each archive holder is given their own Archives Hub account login, and can change their catalogue data at any time.
                  4. The digital API link ensures any changes made in Archives Hub are reflected in Your Scottish Archives within 24 hours.
