Education and learning is a key area of work for the Scottish Catholic Archives. The archive participates in a number of initiatives which contribute to a wider understanding and knowledge and ensure that Catholic history maintains a necessary position in mainstream learning. These initiatives encompass projects from primary level schooling to university level teaching and research. Educational resources are either hosted by ourselves or our project partners. We present here a series of resources for a better understanding of Scottish Catholic history.
