Muniment collection: Publications

Publications

The standard history of the University is R G Cant, The University of St Andrews: a short history (St Andrews : Strathmartine Trust, 2002). There is also the beautifully illustrated Ever to Excel: an illustrated history of the University of St Andrews by Norman H. Reid (Dundee, 2011).

Selections from the records have been transcribed and edited for publication and often include translations from Latin and useful commentaries. Other publications focus on particular areas of the collection or of the University story. Extracts from the archive are regularly included in articles in University publications for staff, students and alumni.
