Researchers can access the copy which held at RBGE to view and take notes, but copies cannot be made: to obtain copies, researchers must request these be made from the original by NRS.
Researchers must also cite the NRS reference accurately in any work, regardless of whether an image is provided or whether they simply take notes from the RBGE copy.
Researchers must also obtain permission from the collection owner to use any images (if provided) or quote directly from the record. They are also responsible for establishing whether there is any copyright subsisting in the record, which may be separate from ownership, and clearing any usage accordingly.
If researchers have any further queries about this, or wish to request a copy, please contact NRS at lsrhe@scotlandspeople.gov.uk .
