This collaborative project between historian Dr Janet Greenlees and Glasgow Caledonian University Archive Centre aims to highlight resources across many GCU archive collections that will help to tell Scotland’s history of maternal and infant health and well-being. Twenty items from across the twentieth century were selected to showcase the types of materials we hold in the collections. The themes covered in this exhibit and across the collections are diverse, but very broadly, they include topics around reproductive health and healthcare; Scottish motherhood and society; infant health and diet; and the many faces of advocacy for mothers and their infants.

Our archives and collections are rich in political cartoon.
We have chosen to highlight three cartoonists in this exhibition: Phil Evans, Leo Baxendale and Bob Starrett.

The Evans and Baxendale images come from the Papers of Sandy Hobbs and the Starrett cartoons come from a collection he himself gifted to the archives. Both collections are at present uncatalogued.
In conjunction with the digital exhibition, we have a selection of each artist’s work on display in the Archive Centre.
