The Scottish Way of Birth and Death project at the Centre for the History of Medicine, University of Glasgow, has launched its website on the history of civil registration in Scotland. The site deals with numerous issues connected with civil registration between 1854 and 1939, including births, deaths, marriages, divorce, health and disease, compulsory vaccination, the census, national registration in wartime, and many other issues. It also describes the individuals who set up the civil registration system, and the problems of registering the Scottish people. The site is intended for general interest, but also includes research pages with links to work by the authors, both published and unpublished, a guide to the records of the Registrar General for Scotland, and a substantial bibliography. We hope that it will be of use to all those interested in the social history of Scotland in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The site is located on http://www.gla.ac.uk/departments/scottishwayofbirthanddeath/
