Get in Touch: Scottish Historical Document Transcription, Translation and Archive Research
Do you have a historic Scottish document that you cannot read, a handwritten will that needs transcribing, or a research project that requires specialist knowledge of Scottish archives? I would be delighted to help.
I offer professional transcription and translation of historical documents, including Scottish wills and testaments, letters, legal records, charters and deeds. Whether your document is written in Scots, Latin or older forms of English, I can help you decipher the original text and understand its meaning in modern English. I specialise in challenging historical handwriting, including documents that can be difficult to interpret without experience of the scripts, language and terminology of their period.
I also undertake Scottish archive research for family historians, academics and anyone interested in genealogy, local history, architectural history or the history of a particular person, property or place. Based in Glasgow, I can consult archival collections across Scotland and help identify and investigate historical sources relevant to your project.
Requesting a quotation is straightforward. Use the contact form below to tell me a little about your document or research requirements. Once I reply you can send over a photograph, scan or PDF showing the original text will help me assess the handwriting, language, condition and complexity of the document before providing a quotation.
Please include any information you have about the document’s date, location, archive reference or historical context. For archive research enquiries, it is helpful to explain what you hope to discover and what you already know.
I will review your enquiry and respond to discuss the work, likely timescale and cost before you decide whether to proceed.
I look forward to hearing about your document or research project and helping you uncover the information contained in Scotland’s historical records.
