Coll-1167: Archives of the Patrick Geddes Centre for Planning Studies
The Photographs from the Survey of Edinburgh are part of a larger collection formerly held within the Outlook Tower on Castlehill. The collection as whole was catalogued while still at the Outlook Tower, this catalogue published as a 2-volume set Catalogue of the archives of the Patrick Geddes Centre for Planning Studies, the second volume focussed solely on the Edinburgh Survey photographs. It is this volume which has now been revisited, its contents keyed, with minor alterations, into a database, accessible below.
It is hoped to address the rest of the collection in due course. Meanwwhile a full digital copy of the first volume is available in pdf format (9MB file)

| Note | The discrepancy in the numbers in the original titles comes about because Print Coll-1167/1/E/14 was given no such number. The editors tried to arrange the pictures so that they formed a logical sequence (Coll-1167/1/E/13 to Coll-1167/1/E/16), but the order they were photographed is almost impossible to establish. |
