The Dorothy Dunnett Readers' Association exists to help our members enjoy, discuss and promote the works of Dorothy Dunnett, and the historical periods in which they were set.  The DDRA is a Charity, registered under Scottish law, and is based in Edinburgh Scotland.  We are run by volunteers, and have members in Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, South Africa, France and other countries.  

As part of our mission to spread the word, we are starting to produce a range of legal authorised memorabilia and merchandising related to the works of DD.  When she died, DD bequeathed most of her working papers and research to the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh.  The profits made by the DDRA from the sale of such merchandising will go towards the cataloguing and preservation of her works.  Among the items she left are 8 inch computer disks which deteriorate year on year, and which we see as a priority in having copied onto longer lasting media:  no-one knows as yet what is on these disks.
