Contains index books, student records, mark books and student results.

These papers comprise material relating to the administration of the Article 55 classes run by Glasgow School of Art between 1901 and 1965. Records in this series include class registers, class lists, correspondence, and enrolment forms. Class registers record details of attendance by students including examinations attended, examination marks, the number of days and hours attended and whether attending Thursday or Saturday classes. Class lists record details of students enrolled in each class. Often there are also lists which include the students' final marks. However there is a separate run of class lists at the end of the main run of papers in this series (REG/10/54) which include final marks. Apart from correspondence, administrative papers can sometimes be found such as copies of blank certificates, prospectuses, and notes on class finances. Enrolment forms are also known as entrance slips or admission slips, changing their names over the years. Details recorded include desired course and session to be enrolled upon, name and address of student, date of birth, whether a certified or assistant teacher, name of school in which employed, previous attainments in subject; previous attendance in subject under Article 91(d)/Article 55, number of hours attended, marks. Over the years different types of forms are used. Noticeably, applications for admission to the summer courses were made on the Glasgow Provincial Committee's own forms which are different from the School's forms and called application forms. Finally this series also contains four volumes relating to the Article 55 classes (REG/10/55-58). These are listed at the end of the series and include index and fees books.

From 1991 onwards minute books were incomplete and therefore have been artificially compiled into the format of the earliest minute books from collections of Academic Council Papers by the cataloguing archivist. Format: The minutes between 1973-1989 have been arranged into folders covering the academic year and include an index book. From 1990 onwards the minute books are arranged by calendar year and are in chronological order. Data protection and sensitivity: Minutes over 30 years old are available for public consultation. Permission from the Academic Council is needed for access to those which are less than 30 years old. Records containing sensitive information about individuals have been collected into separate folders that will be closed for 75 years, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. Folders are as follows: AC/1/1: 14 Jun 1973-30 Jan 1975 AC/1/2: 07 Feb 1975-27 May 1976 AC/1/3: 14 Jun 1976-27 Jun 1977 AC/1/4: 16 Sep 1977-20 Dec 1978 AC/1/5: 24 Jan 1979-16 Jun 1980 AC/1/6: 15 Sep 1980-15 Dec 1981 AC/1/7: 04 Feb 1982-04 Oct 1983 AC/1/8: 09 Sep 1983-20 Jun 1984 AC/1/9: 11 Sep 1984-14 Jun 1985 AC/1/10: 20 Sep 1985-13 Jun 1986 AC/1/11: 22 Oct 1986-12 Jun 1987 AC/1/12: 08 Oct 1987-25 Apr 1988 AC/1/13: 10 May 1988-23 Feb 1989 AC/1/14: 04 May 1989-11 Dec 1989 & appendix of Institutional Plan 1989 AC/1/15: 22 Jan 1990-21 Jun 1990 AC/1/16: 26 Sep 1990-28 Nov 1990 AC/1/17: 1991 AC/1/18: 1992 AC/1/19: 1993 AC/1/20: 1994 AC/1/21: 1995 AC/1/22: 1996 AC/1/23: 1997 AC/1/24: 1998 AC/1/25: 1999 AC/1/26: 2000 AC/1/27: 2001 (Mar-Jun only)

Minutes of the Committee of Management, 1854-1892, and of the Board of Governors, 1892-2002.

From 2003 onwards Board of Governors meeting papers, or appendices, are stored within the minute books. Minutes of Board of Governors meetings from 2003 onwards will be found amongst the papers of the next Board meeting, during which they were approved e.g. Minutes for the Board meeting of 03 Dec 2002 and found within the papers for the meeting of 06 Feb 2003.

Annual Reports and Accounts, Strategic plans, Press Clippings, and Annual Reports to Senate have been removed from the meeting papers of 2003-2014.

The minutes up to 2002 have separate index books, and many are indexed by committee and/or subjects. From Oct 2014 Board of Governors minutes and papers are stored digitally as PDF files.

Data protection and sensitivity: Minutes over 30 years old are available for public consultation. Permission from the Board of Governors is needed for access to those which are less than 30 years old.
