So, quite genuinely, I don't think I've been this excited since PRONI put its catalogue online...! From Highland Archive Service (www.highlifehighland.com/archives-service):
Online Catalogue
Our extensive archive catalogue can be explored online, opening up our fantastic and varied collections to the world like never before.
Our catalogue contains nearly 100,000 descriptions of archives and library holdings held in our four Archive Centres in Inverness, Portree, Fort William and Wick. It will be continually added to, with new content added on a monthly basis. You can search by text, reference number or Archive Centre to help you find entries relating to the subject you’re interested in. Once you have found records you would like to view, you can contact the relevant Archive Centre about accessing them. You can do this either by booking an appointment to view them or by a member of staff conducting a remote enquiry on your behalf.
For information on the catalogue contents and searches, see the top right hand menu on the site.
We hope you enjoy searching the catalogues, and welcome your feedback on the layout and content available.

The age old question about whether God is Scottish or Northern Irish has once again been opened - I should be busy for a bit now chasing after my lot around Inverness!
A massive congratulations to Highland Archive!
