ROE Trust Projects

Picture


In this section of the website we describe the projects that the Trust is trying to raise money in order to achieve.

The Historic Archives conservation project
How we would like to protect, preserve, and showcase both the general ROE archives, and the unique Crawford Collection of antique astronomical books

The Crawford Lecture project 
How we would like to create a high profile annual Public Lecture on the History of Astronomy, celebrating not just our own heritage, but its broader context

The Astronomer Royal Telescopes project 
Our ambition to place easy-to-use telescopes in outdoor residential centres throughout Scotland, inspiring young people, showing them the Universe, and encouraging them to pursue Science and Technology in their education.

The StarsightVR development project 
The next step in developing our exciting virtual reality stargazing system, using the Oculus rift. Read about what we have done so far and what we would like to do next.
