Dr Kenneth Baxter\u2019s newest upload on YouTube offers a taste of the Archive\u2019s visual records that show the changes to Dundee over the years.<\/p>\n

The video shows how Dundee changed as it grew and developed into a 19th<\/sup> Century industrial town. The plans can be seen in the MS 17\/P Thornton Collection which contains maps primarily of Dundee, Perthshire as well as Angus showcasing property, harbours, railway, water supplies, estates, roads and the river Tay.<\/p>\n
