Administrative History The Scottish National Buildings Record (SNBR) was established in 1941 with the remit to make an emergency record of Scotland's historic architecture, and this work continued after the war when many buildings were threatened by demolition or alterations. The SNBR was taken over by the Ministry of Works in 1954, and in 1966 it transferred to RCAHMS to form the National Monuments Record of Scotland. 23 July 2009 (Iain Fraser)
