The intention of this report is to produce some research and guidance which would move museums towards a more inclusive approach. We hope that what you will find is some stimulation to broaden access to existing and potential user groups in museums, galleries and historic properties because embracing the principles in this report will result in a better communicated message to all visitors.

Access in Mind

Rayner, Ann

Reference

This the first book to describe the system of weights and measures used in medieval Scotland and to explain its evolution into modern times, and also the first to provide secure and accurate figures for the sizes of the units. The book's radical approach includes an emphasis on the physical evidence from surviving measurement standards, and it demonstrates that Scotland's meteorology was sophisticated and was closely involved with those of her trading partners. The book will appeal to a specialist market that includes social, economic and science historians; Scottish historians; weight and scale collectors; museums; and science and technology libraries.

The origins of golf are a matter of mystery and controversy. In the absence of tangible evidence, it is to written sources that we must turn for reliable information. Using the archive of the National Library of Scotland, this book takes a look at golf from the 1457 Act of Parliament banning it, to the first Rules of Golf produced in 1744. Quotes from the original documents and books are reproduced, while transcripts, commentary and interpretation of the sources illuminate not only the early days of golf, but also the society which gave rise to the world's most internationally popular game. Portraits and pictures from the national collections complement the documents and the text.

Part of the award-winning "Scotties" series of activity books, "Scottish Rocks and Fossils" tells the story of how Scotland's landscape has changed over the last three billion years. Did you know that disappearing oceans, colliding continents and erupting volcanoes were some of the events which helped to shape the countryside we see today? Discover how coal formed from swamps which grew in a tropical climate. Did you know there was an ice age in Scotland which lasted for over two million years - and the ice may come back? This book helps you find out how to: make your own model volcano which erupts messily - but safely; see a stalactite and stalagmite grown in just a couple of days; and, race your way around Scotland, collecting fossils as you go. Included is an 8pp black and white section with games, puzzles and drawings for colouring in, and can be used at home or photocopied by teachers for classroom use. This work is illustrated with drawings and with photographs and objects from the collections of National Museums Scotland.
