The Cairngorms Archive Trust (SCIO) is a new Scottish Chariable Incorporated Organisation which aims to preserve the extensive and scattered scientific, cultural and historical material relating to the Cairngorms and make it available for the general public to appreciate. Our long term aim is to keep all the material together in a dedicated building, open to the public, within the Cairngorm National Park. In the short term, items will be sorted and catalogued, then sent on loan to local archives and museums for safeguarding. Our initial fund-raising target is for the money needed to cover storage costs while loans are being arranged.
