Guardian Edinburgh has teamed up with the keepers of Scotland's built heritage archives - the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) - to bring you some fascinating images of the city's past.
Even archives have to grow and change - and that's where you come in. Archivists at RCAHMS want you to directly add your local knowledge to the national collection via their Canmore portal.
Whether from exactly the same angle as our featured shot or from a different perspective, your pictures can help shape the city's history.
Our first featured area, Waverley Station, has seen many changes inside and out over the centuries.
Three separate stations - North Bridge, General Station and Canal Street - were once run on the existing site by three companies before the collective name of Waverley was adopted in the 1850s.

All images in this series can be found in the Victorian Scotland book.
