The School of Scottish Studies was established in 1951 at the University of Edinburgh to collect, preserve, research, and publish material relating to the cultural life, folklore and traditional arts of Scotland. The extensive collections, including ethnological fieldwork undertaken by staff and students over the past seventy years, include a sound archive comprising over 30,000 recordings, a photographic archive containing thousands of images from the 1930s onwards, a small film and video collection and a manuscript archive. Material comes from communities throughout Scotland and its diaspora and, as well as being a rich repository of oral tradition, it is invaluable for its range of dialects and accents in Gaelic, Scots and English. A selection of material from the Sound Archive is available online atwww.tobarandualchais.co.uk
