Storytelling through the
CHARLES FRASER MACKINTOSH
collection
|
|
This project is partnership between Robert Gordon University, the University of the Highlands and Islands, and HighLife Highlands
|
We are focusing on the unique materials, especially the ephemera and pamphlets, within the Charles Fraser Mackintosh collection and using it to explore a range of issues which include:
o digitizing it to make it more accessible o how the materials can be used to tell stories of the Highlands o what methods work best to do this in a way that engages different audiences. |

The collection of Charles Fraser Mackintosh contains a huge amount of different subjects. We have identified three key themes, around the Inverness Townscape, Land Reform, and the preservation and promotion of Gaelic as being key to this digitisation project. On this site you will find examples of the rich material that Charles collected, all of which offers us an unique insight into life in the Inverness and the Highlands during the second half of the nineteenth century.
