The Glasgow School of Art photographic collection consists of

• images taken by GSA to record the activities of the School

Papers and documents pertaining to reports, reviews, and quality assessments of the Glasgow School of Art and its Courses. Glasgow School of Art undertakes both internal and external reporting and review processes regularly to ensure the quality of teaching. This is a requirement of the Scottish Funding Council and has long been a requirement of the organisations that fund the School of Art. As part of the internal Annual Reporting Process, departments were asked to submit Course Reports for the academic year just passed, and in some years, Academic Plans for the years ahead. In some years the Course Reports, Academic Plans, and External Examiner's Reports were used in the creation of the Report to the Senate of the University of Glasgow. The Report to Senate includes: Overview of the Session; Annual Course Monitoring Reports; Response to External Examiners' Comments; and Student Statistics. These files also include draft reports, meeting notes, and files of correspondence and papers relating to the reports. Reports over 30 years old are available for public consultation.
