Edinburgh University Library (Special Collections and Lothian Health
Services Archive)
As previously announced, both Special Collections and the Lothian Health
Services Archive are to be relocated temporarily as part of Edinburgh
University's Main Library Redevelopment Plan. Precise dates have not
yet been fixed and are still subject to change but planning schedules
now indicate the relocation of affected stock will not begin until late
August/early September 2006. The time required for stock removal has
been estimated at 13 weeks but this too may vary. As previously
intimated there will be disruption to services and temporary
unavailability of collections. Further details about the reduced
services profile during the removal period is available at
http://www.is.ed.ac.uk/MLRP/continuity/speccoll.html in the form of
frequently asked questions, (FAQ'S). The FAQ's include information on
the limited reading room service which will operate on Mondays and
Tuesdays only between 09.00 and 17.00.
List readers and intending users are also reminded that as part of the
preparations for the removal, Special Collections will close its reading
room services for one week commencing Monday 29th May for stocktaking
purposes. For further information users should contact

During the same week Lothian Health Services Archive will operate a
reduced enquiry and consultation service. Appointments to view archival
material must be made in advance with LHSA staff. Please contact LHSA:
