Last updated: February 13, 2018

The National Records of Scotland Web Archive is made available by the National Records of Scotland. National Records of Scotland (NRS) is a non-ministerial department of the Scottish Government. It's purpose is to collect, preserve and produce information about Scotland's people and history and make it available to inform current and future generations.

The National Records of Scotland is accessible via the Memento "Time Travel for the Web" protocol. Hence, it supports datetime negotiation to access a version of a web resource as it existed at a specific moment in time. Check out the brief introduction to Memento if you are not familiar with it.

Presuming the Original Resource (current version) is http://www.edinburghtraminquiry.org/, then the resources that are relevant for the Memento protocol are:

• TimeGate: http://webarchive.nrscotland.gov.uk/timegate/http://www.edinburghtraminquiry.org/
• Memento: http://webarchive.nrscotland.gov.uk/20170401010904/http://www.edinburghtraminquiry.org/ ; etc.
• TimeMap: http://webarchive.nrscotland.gov.uk/timemap/http://www.edinburghtraminquiry.org/

The original dataset is websites about Scotland's people and history. In responses to HTTP requests, these resources don't provide a Link header with a "timegate" link to point at their TimeGate at the National Records of Scotland.
