Navigational Aids for the History of Science, Technology, and the Environment Project

(Redirected from NAHSTE)

The Navigational Aids for the History of Science, Technology, and the Environment Project (NAHSTE) was a research archives/manuscripts cataloguing project based at the University of Edinburgh. Following a proposal led by Arnott Wilson in 1999,[1] the project received £261,755 funding from the Research Support Libraries Programme (RSLP) from 2000 until 2002.[2][3]

The project was designed to access a variety of outstanding collections of archives and manuscripts held at the three partner Higher Education Institutions (HEIs); the University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University and to make them accessible on the Internet. The project additionally included linkages to related records held by non-HEI collaborators.[4]

Descriptions of the material conform to ISAD(G) (Second edition), whilst information about key individuals conform to ISAAR(CPF). Catalogues were tagged using the Encoded Archival Description XML standard.[1]

Although the project was completed in 2002, the resulting web service continues to be hosted at Edinburgh.
