The resources below have been designed to support GSA staff and students. However, we also encourage their use by anyone who is interested in using archives and collections in their practice. Please get in touch with us if you have any further questions.
Research Guides
To help you research your chosen subject, we have created a series of research guides to help you navigate your way around the many archive sources available.

Archives and Collections Learning Intentions and Glossary
Our “Archives and Collections Learning Intentions” document provides a framework which demonstrates how the Archives and Collections can support GSA students and staff in their learning and teaching at each level of study.
You may also find it helpful to access our Archives and Collections Glossary which outlines key terminology associated with archives and museum collections.
Archives and Creative Practice
Our “Archives And The Studio Leaflet” leaflet shows examples of some of the ways that our collections have been used by creative practitioners. You can find more examples like these on “The Hatchery”, a blog dedicated to the creative use of GSA’s Archives, Collections and Library resources.
