For an additional fee you can obtain copies of some of these records for your personal use; we also offer Gift Vouchers for ScotlandsPeople.

Remote Research Service

If you’re unable to visit us to carry out your own research, we offer a Remote Research Service for any topic relating to the heritage of the Scottish Borders covered by our resources.

For £47.00 per hour (including VAT) you’ll receive:

• a report on sources consulted and results found (both positive and negative);
• suggestions for further research

Please note, the fee is for time taken and does not guarantee that everything asked for can be found.

To request a search please fill in a Remote Research Request Form and return it to collections@liveborders1.org.uk.

Advance payment by debit or credit card in sterling is required in full for all requests by telephoning 01450 360699.
