The recommended closure of this iconic building by the Scottish Government is a national outrage.

This purpose built archive is one of the oldest in the world and is an invaluable resource for the people of Scotland.

The proposed move to a storage facility in Sighthill will strip Edinburgh city centre of a building of national importance. This will also deny the many regular users of this service their freedom to view these important Scottish historical records.

Please sign this petition to stop an Edinburgh landmark from being closed and to protect the future of this invaluable resource for our generation and also for future generations to come.
