See, share and contribute to NLS material online

You will find National Library of Scotland material in various ways on the web — and not only on our own sites.

As well as social networking, we are experimenting with social bookmarking and blogging. We are developing our capacity to produce audio and video files too.

Social networking sites

NLS has a presence on four of the popular social networking sites:

  • Twitter
    Frequent tweets about NLS news, events, and exhibitions. Read NLS tweets.
  • YouTube
    Watch short video clips from our moving image collection on YouTube. To access them, search for 'National Library of Scotland'. To get from there to our our YouTube channel, follow the link to 'NLofScotland'.
  • Flickr
    Sign up for Flickr to see images from our collections on the NLS photostream. We add new images every month.
  • Facebook
    We load video clips and images and images to the National Library of Scotland on Facebook. Once they have registered, our Facebook friends can also keep up with NLS news and events.

Share what you see

Using social bookmarks you can save links to your favourite images, etc., to share with friends and others who may be interested. You may have to register to use social bookmarking sites.

You can link to a few social bookmarking sites on some of the web features in the Digital gallery, such as the online maps.

NLS blogs

We have several active blogs at the moment. Do email the Web Editor if you have any suggestions about them. And, of course, we encourage you to contribute comments and / or tags in the blogs themselves.
