Doors Open Day: Behind the scenes centenary tours

Celebrate the National Library of Scotland’s centenary with a free ‘behind the scenes’ tour of Scotland’s moving image and sound archive. 

Based in the iconic Kelvin Hall, this is a rare opportunity to see how technicians and curators work to preserve and digitise film and sound material from fragile formats. Staff will be on hand to answer any questions and guide you through the storage and care of this unique collection. 

Tours will last approximately an hour, and run at: 

• 10:30am 

• 12 noon

• 1:30pm

After your tour you can explore the Access Centre, where you can browse thousands of films, and explore our digital collections.
