Libraries, Information and Archives hold an extensive collection of news cuttings, publications and multi media relating to the Lockerbie Air Disaster of 21st December 1988.

This can be consulted on application to Central Support Unit in Dumfries.

The service also holds a collection of books by and relating to Robert Burns who died and is buried in Dumfries.  This can be consulted at the Ewart Library in Dumfries.

We can find most books, even if you cannot see them on the shelves of your local library. Our Inter Library Loans service enables us to look nationwide, just ask a member of staff to assist you.

We can also request photocopies from serials and periodicals. Because of copyright restrictions we cannot request a photocopy of more than one article from the same volume. We do sometimes request the whole volume in this case for you to look at.

The more details you provide, the easier and quicker we can supply it.

If the item you want is available from a council library but out on loan to another borrower, then we can reserve it for you. Alternatively you can email us to reserve an item.
