To view, you need to be signed into FamilySearch. A description in the first volume states "The Inventory provides a locator for items within printed and unpublished material. For example, there are many historical society publications, serials, and periodicals that deal with a variety of subjects. ...The Inventory is designed to bring to light some of the valuable articles hidden within these sources which are not well known to the amateur genealogist. ...The cut-off date for material in this Inventory is December 1989."

The Indexes were transcribed from a series of booklets with that title at:[https://www.scotsgenealogy.com/Home.aspx The Scottish Genealogy Society] located in Edinburgh. At least some of the entries appear to be the same as those compiled by David Dobson, for which transcriptions appear in the FIBIS database, refer FIBIS resources, above. Most likely these records were extracted from one or more books by David Dobson.

**In respect of Censuses, the 1911 Census in Scotland is only available on ScotlandsPeople, but earlier censuses in Scotland are available on websites such as [[findmypast]], Ancestry and other genealogical websites. Note however not all records on these other websites contain images. For example, for 1851 findmypast only contains transcriptions for Scotland, images are believed to be on ScotlandsPeople.
