| Over
the years travellers kept diaries and wrote down what they thought
about the places they visited. This can help us to understand what
people thought about a place at that time. |

| Old
Newspapers tell us about the main things going on in a town or city.
Aberdeen’s Central Library has old newspapers, which you can
look at copies of. When an important event happened you can often
find a newspaper report. It helps if you know the exact date otherwise
you may have to look through a lot of papers! |

| A
report called the Statistical Account of Scotland tells us about towns
and cities in Scotland. Some of these can be looked at on the internet
- click

lots of books about Aberdeen and its history in the public library
and bookshops. |
