The purpose of this study was the construction and analysis of a database of the records relating to students who attended the University of Aberdeen from 1860 to 1920, in order to create a comprehensive textual dossier of information about individual students which could be accessed easily by the University Archivist in answering frequent enquiries about past students; to facilitate the researches of scholars preparing publications on different aspects of University life for the institution's quincentenary in 1995; to demonstrate trends in the geographical and social mobility of the student population, as well as the impact on academic life of major changes in the curriculum.
