Administrative / Biographical History

Glasgow University Model United Nations Debating Society was founded in 2009 by Isolde Boyd and Alisa “George” Dewan as a society established to promote and draw attention to the UN style of international debate through role-play and discussions and sending delegates to conferences world-wide. The first two years experienced much support and growth within the society and an executive committee was elected as well as a constitution ratified. The end of the 2010 academic year brought the resignation of one of the founding members and the election of new leadership with new ideologies. Decreased membership and a lack of conference attendance led to disbanding of the society, though presently (Nov. 2011) it is unclear whether the society still exists.

Arrangement

The original order of the fonds has been maintained and broken into four subfonds of governance material, financial material, debating material, and promotional material and divided into series within each subfonds.
