Our archive is subject-based and comprises material pertinent to Mull, Iona and satellite islands. There is a smaller amount of information on Coll, Tiree and the Small Isles and also the adjacent mainland.
We have created a pdf copy of our catalogue available to view online. This file is not easily viewed on a phone, links are available on our desktop and tablet versions of the website.

Use of material
If you wish to use any material for commercial purposes you must contact us to discuss copyright and licensing.
For most instances of copying for personal and educational purposes we can provide digital copies of documents and some photographs, subject to copyright.
In the interest of privacy, we reserve the right to ask for additional information with regard to
providing copies of photographs of people, particularly in respect of more recent photographs and
images of children.
Whatever the copyright status of a particular photograph, we also like to consider the privacy of
those featured in a picture and what their feelings might be towards it being reproduced and
displayed in public (as they may have had no involvement in the image being given to the museum).
We would request that, if you intend to display publicly a reproduced image from the Museum’s
archive, that permission is sought from anyone featured in the photograph who is still alive. There
may be circumstances with deceased people where we would suggest seeking permission from
surviving relatives – this would have to be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
We request that no images from the museum’s collection are published online without prior discussion with, and authorisation from, the museum.
Charges for scanning & emailing digital copies:
A4 or smaller £1 per page. Large format £15 for first document, thereafter £5 each.
Payment for scanning must be made in advance, you will be invoiced by email.
Payment can be made by card via PayPal (you do not need to have a PayPal account).
