Part of Records of The Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow, Scotland
The Glasgow School of Art photographic collection consists of
- images taken by GSA to record the activities of the School
- images taken for publicity purposes
- images donated by former staff and students illustrating their time at the School
- and images used as teaching aids at GSA.
Some of this material is currently uncatalogued and therefore not accessible for researchers.
The photographic collections consist of loose photographs, bound albums of photographs and a large collection of lantern slides and glass plate negatives.
The photographs record events at The Glasgow School of Art, its students and their work and act as an important historical source. A large part of the collection consists of the plate glass negatives which were used from the 19th century onwards as a teaching aid and consist of photographic plates of international artworks and architectural examples.
We have identified people depicted in these photographs where possible. Please get in touch if you spot any inconsistencies, omissions or errors, and we will edit descriptions accordingly.
