Welcome to Aberdeenshire Museums Service’s Collections Search. 

With a collection of over 500,000 objects, we are continually working to digitise our records and images.

You can access our collections by using our simple, advanced, or expert search functions or by browsing thematic areas.  These options are accessed from the Search page.

We are also working to list our reference collection, which is available to search by selecting the ‘Library’ collection option within the search function.
