Donations
SCHCT is looking to expand its rich collections to tell a more complete story of Catholicism in Scotland. Many of our most precious objects have been donated by generous individuals over the centuries. We are looking to enhance our key collecting areas and fill in the gaps of our existing collection.
SCHCT is currently looking for donations which:
- Connect with our key thematic areas such as Mary Queen of Scots and the Jacobites;
- Have associations with the Scots Colleges and Monasteries abroad such as those at Paris & Douai, Rome, Madrid & Valladolid, and Regensburg;
- Relate to Scottish Seminaries such as Scalan, Aquorthies, St Peter’s Seminary (Cardross), St. Andrews College (Drygrange), Scotus College, Lismore Seminary, & Gillis College; as well as Junior Seminaries at Blairs College (Aberdeen) and St Vincent’s College (Langbank);
- Are liturgical objects such as chalices, monstrances, & vestments with Scottish connections;
- Relate to distinguished Scottish Catholics, whether clerical or lay.
