Perth - a place in history
To celebrate Perth 800, P&KC Archive will be regularly posting
images of documents that together, illustrate the history of Perth.
Check out our Flickr page to follow our online
exhibition.
Beginning with the William the Lion charter, this will be added to
over the coming weeks, giving fascinating glimpses into the history
of Perth from the 14th century up to the present day.
Choosing which documents to show was difficult. Some, because of
their size or condition could not be scanned, while there are
certain events where documentation simply does not exist any
longer. For example, we do not have any documents relating
directly to the Reformation. Consequently, we've chosen documents
that we feel offer glimpses into the very many aspects of
Perth's past: its political and social life, its trade
and industry and its experiences of war and peace.
If you have any comments or information about any of the documents,
please feel free to
contact us or better still,
leave a comment on Flickr
