Dorothy Dunnett

The Dunnett Archive

Before her death Dorothy decided to leave her very extensive archive - all her research materials, manuscripts and other papers, plus Alastair Dunnett's papers - as a bequest to the National Library of Scotland where it will be known as The Dunnett Archive. She was of course a trustee of the library and it was where she did a great deal of her research. A trust has now been set up to maintain that archive and allow it to be catalogued and accessed for future generations. This seems to me to be an excellent way of preserving her memory and utilizing her extensive knowledge for the benefit of all, and I would urge anyone who wishes to mark her death or commemorate her life to make a donation to the trust.

Details of the Trust, set up by Dorothy's lawyer as part of his firm's own charitable trust - the Princes Exchange Foundation - are as follows:

Account Name - The Dunnett Archive
Account Number - 00446114
