Dear Colleagues

The Royal Bank of Scotland Group has just launched a brand new website - RBS Heritage Online at http://heritagearchives.rbs.com - incorporating a guide to our archives and information on how the public can contact us to make enquiries or to arrange a visit. The site is wiki-hosted, although it is not being used as a conventional publicly-editable wiki.

The archive guide includes short histories of most of our constituent banks and businesses and a summary of the records we hold for each. We have also indicated where we know additional related records to be held by other archive offices.

Please do guide your researchers toward the site where it might be helpful. We would also very much welcome your comments on RBS Heritage Online so that we can improve and develop it going forward. Information about any related archive collections which we have not listed, and of which we are therefore unaware, would also be much appreciated.

You can contact me at [log in to unmask].
