Scottish Catholic Archives

The institutional memory of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland


The Scottish Catholic Archives (SCA) is the Archive of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland and is responsible for preserving the historical memory of Catholicism in the modern era. The Collection housed in the Archive ranges from Pre-Catholic Emancipation (1829) up to present day.


It is Christ who acts in history and Who writes His own history, so that our records are echoes and traces of His passing through the world. And so, to have respect for these records, documents, and archives ultimately means to have respect for Christ, to have a sense of the Church, and to provide ourselves and those who will come after us with the history of this period of the Lord’s passing through the world.
