Every business is unique, with its own story of achievement, organisational culture, reputation, products and people. This range of archive case studies developed as part of the Business Archives Council of Scotland’s work with the Scottish Business History Network in 2016 has been created to show how a wide variety of businesses, archives and heritage organisations have used their business archive collections. Business archives are not only a business asset, they also enhance our understanding of Scotland’s exceptionally rich economic, industrial and commercial past.
