Everywhere changes but Aberdeen has undergone some serious transformations over the years with the city continuing to shift and reshape today.

The Silver City Vault photographic archive, run by Aberdeen City Libraries, shows how fishing, trade, tourism and of course oil and gas have all led the city through different chapters of time with shopping also making its mark.
