Newspaper cuttings

The collection is divided into two smaller series:

Glasgow School of Art press cuttings, 1864 -

Charles Rennie Mackintosh press cuttings, 1968 -

The Glasgow School of Art collection of newspaper cuttings is an artificial collection of cuttings from both local and national newspapers and magazines that relate to School of Art, its activities, staff and students. As well as material relating directly to the School there is a separate collection of cuttings relating exclusively to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the influence of his work.

The collection was created not only to help document the Glasgow School of Art's activities, students and staff but also to act as a valuable research tool for students reflected in the fact that this material used to be held on open access within the Library.

The material is arranged as outlined in the description above.

Glasgow School of Art Archives and Collections are open for research by appointment.Bindings are in very poor condition. Microfilm surrogate to be accessed in the first instance

An indexing card system of the newscuttings up to c.1998 is available in the search room.

A fully searchable series level list is available via the Gateway to Scottish Higher Education (GASHE) web site at http://www.gashe.ac.uk

The collection was created by the Glasgow School of Art Library and subsequently continued upon its transfer to the care of the Archives in 2001. The earlier bound volumes of cuttings were transferred to the care of the archivist in 1994.
