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. Permission from the board of governors is needed for access to those which are less than 30 years old. Reporting and Review papers as follows: AC/5/1: Reports to the Senate of the University of Glasgow, 1998-2012 AC/5/2: Annual Course Reports, 1991-2000 AC/5/3: Academic Plans, 1992-2000 AC/5/4: External Examiners' Reports, 1979-2001 AC/5/5: Responses to External Examiners' Reports, 1993-2000 AC/5/6: Annual Course Reporting Correspondence and Working Papers, 1987-2000 AC/5/7: Course Reviews, c1980-2000 AC/5/8: Quinquennial Reviews, 1978-2000 AC/5/9: Institutional Reviews, 1980-2010 AC/5/10: CNAA papers, 1971-1990 AC/5/11: Quality Audit and Assessment Papers, 1991-1997 AC/5/12: Strategic Change Initiative, 1998 AC/5/13: Research Assessment Exercise, 1999 AC/5/14: Appendices for a Review, 1995

Annual Reports to the Senate of the University of Glasgow regarding the School of Art and its courses of study. The reports include an overview of the School of Art's academic and related activities during the session and provide an account of how the School has acquitted its responsibilities in relation to quality assurance and enhancement. The Report to Senate also includes: Overview of the Session; Annual Course Monitoring Reports; Response to External Examiners' Comments; and Student Statistics. In most years the Course Reports, Academic Plans, and External Examiner's Reports were compiled into the appendices of the Annual Report to the Senate of the University of Glasgow however for the purposes of this catalogue, these documents have been separated into their own series. See AC/5/2-4 below. Many of these Reports to Senate of the University of Glasgow are copies that were made for meetings of the Board of Governors so some have cover sheets relating to the meeting and most of these reports do not include the appendices due to the size of the document. As explained above, the appendices referred to are the Annual Course Reports, Academic Plans and External Examiner's Reports that can be found at AC/5/2-4 below.

GSA Archives and Collections hold 216 audiovisual files, covering a range of topics and a wide date range. The audiovisual material has been created both by GSA and by external organisations, such as the BBC (television and radio), STV and ITV, other educational institutions and the Scottish Arts Council. Media in the collection include 16mm films, 35mm films, audio cassettes, audio CDs, CD Rom, DV cassette, DVD, Floppy disk, Reel to reel audios, Super 8 film, U-matic films, VHS tapes and Video 8 tapes. The audiovisual files pertain to topics including the GSA Fashion and Degree Shows, and Activities Week; students discussing their work; lectures by architects; presentations by, and interviews and conversations with, GSA alumni; centenary of the Mackintosh Building; Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh; plays; and documentaries on GSA. Please note that this material is not yet fully catalogued and therefore some items may not be accessible to researchers. As at August 2017, only the fashion show audiovisual material has been catalogued. The remaining uncatalogued material is therefore not currently accessible for researchers.

A number of the GSA fashion shows were filmed and some of these films are held by GSA Archives and Collections, namely the films for 1978, 1982, 1984, 1985 and 1986. These show models on the stage plus in some cases backstage footage and/or stills, and the audience arriving at the venue. For four of the films held by GSA Archives and Collections, the soundtracks have been incorporated at the editing stage and reflect the songs played at the show.

This film comprises both the 1982 and 1984 fashion show films. The only exception is that the instrumental section with no images, at the end of the 1984 film, is not included here. For more details please see GSAA/AV/1/2 for the 1982 film and GSAA/AV/1/3 for the 1984 film. A short clip of this film is available online at https://vimeo.com/channels/504825/videos. To view the full length film, please contact GSA Archives and Collections.
