ArchivesWelcome to Glasgow Caledonian University Archives. The Archives at GCU house not only the University's papers but also the unique papers of some of Scotland’s national bodies and organisations. The subject areas covered include left wing politics, trade union activity, social work, social policy, child care and pressure group organisation and activity. It is used by an international cross domain body of researchers including the undergraduate, PhD student, academic, author, professional practicioners from various professions, and the general public following through private research. Archives are part of the University’s Research Collections and with the exception of Glasgow Caledonian University Institutional Archive, the University has been developing archive holdings since 1993. The Institutional Archive not only provides an insight into the history of Scottish education from the Victorian era through to the development of the new universities of the 1990s and beyond, but also provides information on social history relating to Glasgow and the West of Scotland. The Archives are not only responsible for the University's historical continuity including the history of its predecessor bodies (which date back to 1875), but house various deposited archives which enhance the research and curricula needs of the University. As indicated above the main subject areas covered in these deposited collections are Scottish politics and political organisation, Scottish trade union activity, social work and social services in Scotland, Scotland's peace movement, Scottish ethnic issues and Scotland's involvement in apartheid and Southern African politics. This brief list is not exhaustive however and it may be worth checking the summary level descriptions of our archives. The University Archives is strictly apolitical and for research purposes only. We hold no responsibility for the political views expressed in material held in our Archives or on the website and its related links. Last Updated:
