These are the directors and company works of the Buckie Gas Light Company in 1906. The company was founded in 1869 in Buckie, @Aberdeenshire, and undertook to supply gas to houses for lighting #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover
Our @Aberdeenshire Assessed Tax reports record the payment of window tax by property owners in the early 1800s- nicknamed a tax on light. In this example we can see that the Earl of Aboyne paid £44 3s for his 74 windows at Aboyne Castle #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover
The final day of #ExploreYourArchive is about light. During WW2, Aberdeen was still an extremely busy port & it was vital that the harbour was dark enough to remain unseen by enemy aircraft but light enough for vessels to unload. The solution? Hurricane lamps! #archivetakeover
This register, covering 1842 and 1874, notes every patient admitted to the Aberdeen Smallpox Hospital at Mounthooly. In terms of results, there are only two noted: Cured, or Dead. #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover #medicalhistory

Today's #ExploreYourArchive theme is Health - most health records for the NE are held by our colleagues in @NHSGArchives but we have the odd gem like this register of cases from the Laurencekirk District Nursing Association, formed in 1900 #archivetakeover #medicalhistory
From an album marking the 100th anniversary celebrations of the Northern Co-op, or NORCO, in 1961, including a lovely image of the Beach Ballroom #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover
In 2017 @AbdnArchives celebrated the 700th birthday of the Aberdeen Burgh Court Roll, the oldest record of council business anywhere in Scotland. It is 160cm long when unrolled and records cases heard at the head court between Aug & Oct 1317 #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover
For Queen Elizabeth's coronation in June 1953 the Aberdeen Harbour Board building had a makeover. The Harbour Engineer's design cost £82 & included new decorations (£10), six window boxes with flowers (£24) and labour (£40) #ExploreYourArchive #Celebrations #archivetakeover
Today's #ExploreYourArchive theme is celebrations - these photos are from the opening of @AberdeenCC's Duthie Park in 1883 - it appears to have been a dreich day ☔ #archivetakeover
The Aberdeen Harbour Board collection is home to over 2500 engineering plans for building works. This plan from 1897 shows a shed to be erected at Point Law to be used to manufacture oils & a detail of the Oil Boilers #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover
It's not just boats at Aberdeen Harbour! There were a group of scientists based at the laboratory in the Harbour Commissioner's Works at Mathews Quay #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover #glassplates
For today's Explore Your Archive look into our collections, we've got some items related to science and engineering at Aberdeen Harbour! #ExploreYourArchive #ArchiveTakeover
Today's #ExploreYourArchive theme is labels - these are really important in archives to help us pin point individual items in our stores. Typically we label items with a unique reference no. in pencil, but labels can also be added to bindings or packaging #archivetakeover
Our final log book entry from @AbdnArchives today is from Braemar School in @Aberdeenshire, where the ink froze in the inkwells during a cold winter in 1910. The teacher states that the temp was 50 degrees of frost, we think this = -27°C 🥶#ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover
Another entry from a log book held by @AbdnArchives - this time we're at Victoria Road school in Aberdeen, with an eventful nativity play #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover #schoolshistory
The Aberdeen Education Authority were also involved in a review of film censorship in the early 1930s, - this form is assessing a screening of the classic Blue Angel (now rated PG) which the reviewer felt was unsuitable #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover #filmhistory
Amongst the Aberdeen School Board records at @AbdnArchives are essays written by pupils in WW2 about what they were missing in war time - food features heavily but one girl writes that she misses her father, serving with the RAF #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover
Most of @AbdnArchives school records are late 19th century but we have earlier records for Thain's School, est. in 1788, which taught poor children in Aberdeen. Admission & lefts records show that one pupil went to South Africa after leaving #ExploreYourArchive #archivetakeover
