WELCOME TO Search Pro, THE SCOTSMAN'S DIGITAL ARCHIVE                                      

Our digital archive includes every page of The Scotsman (and various other UK newspaper publications) since January 2006. Previously only available on microfiche or in fragile bound copies, you can now take a journey though time by browsing and searching the various articles available.

Search Pro includes over 9 million articles including photographs and illustrations, up to 72 hours ago (there is a 3-day embargo on all articles). Articles can be seen in their original format, as printed in the newspaper. It also includes pieces that are never published online (as much as 25%).

Searching is free of charge; however you will need to register first. If you want to view in full or print out material, you must first purchase credits or subscribe. The easiest way to buy articles is on a pay-as-you-go basis. Clip views cost 1 credit and page views cost 2 credits. One credit costs £2 or less - the more you purchase, the more you save.

The service is handy for personal use if you want to look up articles that reference yourself, friends or family members, or if you need to research a company for a job interview or school project. It is also used by business professionals such as lawyers, small businesses and PR professionals.

For further information on how to use Search Pro, please see our Features page, or take a look at one of our demonstrations.
