Dear friends, I apologise for the mass mail out, but this is a subject very close to my heart. I urge you to please sign this petition below. The School of Scottish Studies and particularly the Sound Archive have been invaluable in my research so far, and therefore I would really appreciate any extra support you can give to this. They are an amazing resource for anyone interested in Scottish history and the closure of the department would be a great loss. For those of you with a campaigning background, this is the place where I have chosen to deposit my oral history interviews with activists who have campaigned in Scotland since the end of World War II and which I would like to be a resource for campaigners and activists in the future.

As a result of these plans, the School of Scottish Studies is likely to lose 90% of its books and the future of the fragile archival material remains uncertain. A student campaign is under way to persuade the University that the School of Scottish Studies and its resources must remain intact and accessible to researchers and the wider public.
