In 2014, The National Archives documented, catalogued and organised ‘Aberdeen Combworks Co Ltd, comb manufacturers and cardboard box makers‘ materials, such as documents, artifacts, books, manuscripts and photographs, so that they can be preserved, studied and made accessible to researchers, scholars and the public.

In 2023, the 1996 architectural plans for the redevelopment of ‘the combworks’ was added. McInness Gardner, architects, conducted a feasibility study to determine the potential for renovation, restoration and from there developed a design concept for the building’s new use.
