It's all about the records and artefacts associated with the Dons as we strive to keep building something good for our fellow Dandies.
Can you spot anything unusual about this picture from #TheAberdeenCollection? The match is @afc.co.uk v Motherwell at Pittodrie 6th May 1989.
30 up in @afc.co.uk colours for Kevin Nisbet. First Dons' hat-trick in ages.
It was grand to meet @therealskeneo.bsky.social at Pittodrie yesterday and chat about fitba from our formative years and players from Bobby Clark to Brian Irvine. Thank you so much for adding to #TheAberdeenCollection especially things we haven't seen before. Just imagine what's still be out there!
This arrived into #TheAberdeenCollection the other day. Presumably comes from when @afc.co.uk had that grand run in the League Cup culminating with a 2-0 win in the Final over Dundee. Probably not many of these going round - unless you know different...
AFC Heritage @afcheritage.bsky.social Does anybody recognise this supporter event? Early 80s with Willie Miller and Brian Mitchell in attendance. The photo is part of the Sports Projects collection within #TheAberdeenCollection
Here's an oddity from #TheAberdeenCollection The line-up is for Hamilton Accies - possibly anticipated by the @afc.co.uk coaches before the match at Douglas Park on 23rd January 2019 afcheritage.org/matches/matc.... Maybe to catch the players' attention at a team talk? All part of the rich story.
The Elder Cottage Hospital on Drumoyne Drive in Glasgow. Founded by Isabella Elder in 1902, it was designed in a Late Englsh Renaissance style by J.J. Burnet. #glasgow #architecture #govan #architecturephotography #isabellaelder
Here's a bit of @afc.co.uk Pittodrie history that is carefully stored in #TheAberdeenCollection one of many hundreds. This is one of the bigger pennants, if not the biggest we've got.
I'm very happy to have 2 pieces in the IN THE BOX exhibition, opening today at TLG Gallery in Toronto, celebrating the beautiful game! This piece features Scotland and "the Auld Enemy". If you're in Toronto I hope you can check it out 💙✨️ #scotland #tartanarmy #scotlandfootball #noscotlandnoparty
Another grand reading day when a new edition of @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social hits #TheAberdeenCollection great work by @peterelliott71.bsky.social and the diverse group of contributors. No wonder @afc.co.uk likes to wax lyrical about #TheRedArmy
Turns out that this is from a pre-season match against IFK Trollhatten in July 1986 in Sweden.
AFC Heritage@afcheritage.bsky.social · 3mo agoThis pennant is in #TheAberdeenCollection but we don't know anything about it, not even if it is football related. Anybody got any ideas? It may come from a match that one of the @afc.co.uk teams played or could have been gifted by a visitor.

There two @eveningexpress.bsky.social giveaway @afc.co.uk pictures from 1968 just dropped into #TheAberdeenCollection - It's the first time we have come across them so we don't currently know how many were published. No doubt a fellow Dandy will have chapter and verse to enighten us.

On 15th September 1987 @afc.co.uk were on UEFA Cup duty at Dalymount Park. A tight tie where they only drew 0-0 with a 1-0 follow up at Pittodrie. Still, a nice embroidered pennant was received into #TheAberdeenCollection and the trip to Dublin was great for the fans.
In June 1956 the touring @afc.co.uk party played a match against a Saskatchewan Select, running up a score of 17-0. The spoering Canadiand presented the Dons with this memento of our visit and it is now a part of #TheAberdeenCollection and remains on show in the Boardroom to this day.
The @afc.co.uk UEFA Cup tie against Dynamo Dresden at Pittodrie wasn't a memorable one, but Dynamo did present the Dons with a nice double-sided pennant that now resides within #TheAberdeenCollection - one of many hundreds standing patiently by for the chance to go on show whenever we can manage it.

We see your copy and raise to two for #TheAberdeenCollection What a great era Dick oversaw. We have an article about the man himself, not so much about his chairmanship as his playing career. Few people can claim to have spent so many years with the Dons @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @afc.co.uk
Hutchie@scotshutchie.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe February Black & Gold magazine is out now, my article this month focuses on the infamous 1984 match that was abandoned at half time due to one of the worst blizzards to hit the North East in many a year. @blackandgoldmag.bsky.social @peterelliott71.bsky.social @afcheritage.bsky.social
Working on #TheAberdeenCollection we have just come upon a huge bundle of these cards. No doubt somebody out there will be able to tell us all about them. Looks like they are from 1981 and we have to find some more - 17 here but not the full playing squad. Any information welcome. #COYR
The @afcheritage.bsky.social book Pittodrie:The History by Chris Gavin is officially sold out! But a reorder is on the way, with copies available soon both online and at the AFC club shop

Merry Christmas from us to you! Thank you for your support of the @afcheritage.bsky.social magazine. Here’s a wee peek of the cover for the next issue, featuring a very wintry scene, as Dick Donald surveys Pittodrie during the Dons’ abandoned fixture against St Johnstone on 3 January 1984.
You can help us look after #TheAberdeenCollection by picking up a copy of the @afcheritage.bsky.social calendar from the @afc.co.uk Club Shop. Thank you if you can chip in. #COYR
