Education and learning is a key area of work for the Scottish Catholic Archives. The archive participates in a number of initiatives which contribute to a wider understanding and knowledge and ensure that Catholic history maintains a necessary position in mainstream learning. These initiatives encompass projects from primary level schooling to university level teaching and research. Educational resources are either hosted by ourselves or our project partners. We present here a series of resources for a better understanding of Scottish Catholic history.
SCOTTISH CATHOLIC HISTORY
We hope to bring a number of articles and resources together to illustrate Scottish Catholic history in further detail. We have published the following articles so far: the Scottish Catholic Tradition: A shared Catholic Heritage; and Recusant Archives and Remains from the Three Kingdoms 1560-1789 - Catholics in Exile at Home and Abroad.

SCOTTISH CATHOLIC HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
The Scottish Catholic Historical Association was founded in 1950 by a group of clergy and laity who wished to place Scottish Catholic history in the mainstream of historical research. Conferences, lectures, publications and the invaluable journal of the association - The Innes Review - have successfully achieved this goal set out almost 60 years ago. Read more

You are invited to follow Richard Carr McClement as he travels around the world aboard six vessels, the H.M.S Buffalo, H.M.S Hawke, H.M.S Galatea, H.M.S Duncan, H.M.S Terror and H.M.S Wellesley.
The McClement Project is a joint research initiative of UHI’s Centre for History and the Scottish Catholic Archives and is directed by Dr S Karly Kehoe. It centres on the journal of McClement, an Irishman and assistant surgeon who served with the Royal Navy between 1857 and 1869. McClement’s 400 page journal is a tremendous historical resource for students, scholars and the general public. This project is interactive - it is about making history accessible and allowing people to participate in the development of an historical project. Read more
