Welcome to LHSA. We look after the historically important records of NHS Lothian hospitals and other health-related material, dating from 1594 to the present day. LHSA preserves, interprets and promotes these records to increase understanding of the history of health and healthcare in our region. Our collections and services are open to all researchers, including the University of Edinburgh community, NHS Lothian staff, visiting students and academics and members of the public.
