Description
Digital materials related to the movement for Scottish independence (2013-), including maps, polls, news articles, videos, white papers, academic writings, and images concerning Scottish autonomy, the Scottish National Party, Devolution, Indyref2, Westminster reserved matters, party manifestoes, Brexit, protests and marches, and public opinion.
The topic of Scottish independence is an ongoing debate. An initial referendum was held in 2014, and Scotland voted to remain part of the United Kingdom. In the years since the referendum, a divide between Great Britain and Scotland has formed as a result of Brexit, Covid-19, and many other political factors. In 2022, the general opinion on Scottish independence became more favorable, and there is a renewed effort within Scotland for another referendum.
This collection was created to aggregate information from both the independence referendum in 2014 and the ongoing independence movement as a resource for study and research.
