In 1984, with the support of donations from Hugh Lang, John Arnott, Angus Erskine and Iain Smart, the Club acquired an extensive library of Arctic books collected by the late Irene and George Waterston. This library numbers over 350 books.
Our library is hosted by the Royal Scottish Geographical Society (RSGS). It is displayed on purpose built shelves in the Shackleton Room at Lord John Murray House, Perth along with the library of Angus Erskine and the Polar Collection of the RSGS. SAC members can consult these libraries on request (please contact the RSGS first on 01738 455 050 or enquiries@rsgs.org). The catalogue of the original SAC library is available to download. The RSGS Polar Collection holds many other titles.
