Dear All, The National Burns Collection is the largest distributed collection of material relating to Robert Burns in the world. The eight partners who hold the collections developed the Distributed National Burns Collection website <http://burnsscotland.com/> with support from the Strategic Change Fund in 2004 to showcase their collections. As part of the Burns Recognition Project, the site is currently being redeveloped, along with the digitisation of Burns material. A new blog has been launched to cover this project.
