Lothian Health Services Archive (LHSA) collects the historically important records of NHS hospitals in Edinburgh and the Lothian region; and other health related material. It is the largest NHS archive in the UK.

A variety of NHS clinical and non-clinical records date from 1770 and 1594 respectively. Gifted or deposited non-NHS institutional and personal papers have increased the range and depth of holdings, which now occupy c. 3,000 shelf metres. There is also a photographic collection (c. 40,000 items) as well as older printed books, memorabilia, medical instruments, artworks, silverware and other historically significant objects.
