- Emigration from Scotland: Emigrants' Correspondence - database based on letters and papers from the Library's manuscripts collections, dating from 1685 but mostly of the 19th and 20th centuries.

If existing, letters from friends or relations in Scotland are also noted, as are some manuscripts, correspondence or papers relating more generally to the subject of emigration.
