National Records of Scotland

Government Records Branch

This is a list of government files transferred to NRS which date from the year 2000 and were released before 1 Jan 2016. Proactive release of information by the Scottish Government has added a considerable amount of information into the public domain from the year 2000 earlier than 15 years after it was created. This reflects releases under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, and complements Scottish Ministers’ proactive policy of releasing historic files after 15 years. Since 2009 Scottish Government has proactively opened over 13,000 files for public inspection at 15 years. 

These files require pre-ordering to be seen in our public search room. Please see our website for conditions. To pre-order, telephone 0131 535 1334 giving 24 hours’ notice.
