A related theory is that van Gogh (Reid?) was actually shot by a local youth in Ile-de-France. Google ‘Was van Gogh murdered?’ for more details. It is conceivable that the two could have swapped professions. Van Gogh came from a family of art dealers and was once an employee at the renowned Goupil & Cie in Paris, while Reid was a painter before selling other artists’ work. What is certain is that for six months Reid and van Gogh shared a flat in Paris belonging to Vincent’s brother Theo and that during a night of heavy drinking they discussed a suicide pact, presumably thinking ART FILMS doppelganger?

  • Scotland: Building for the Future
    Scotland: Building for the Future Scotland: Building for the Future In post-war Scotland there was a belief among key decision-makers that the world could be made better by design. New homes, schools and churches – even entire new towns – could be planned, designed and built for the benefit of all. Modernism in architecture and design were closely linked with this widespread faith in reconstruction. Architects and architecture were at the centre of this national effort, as they had been for at least 250 years. Scotland had specialised in new towns and a ‘rational’ approach to development and improvement, and there is a strong echo of the work of Robert Adam and Edinburgh New Town in the ‘age of improvement’ of the post-war period.

  • The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre: 30 Years of Preserving the Records of an Immigrant Community
    SCOTTISH ARCHIVES 2016 Volume 22 © The Scottish Records Association Around the Archives The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre: 30 Years of Preserving the Records of an Immigrant Community Harvey L. Kaplan It is 200 years since the first Jewish community was established in Scotland and almost 30 years since the establishment of the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre (SJAC).1 An organisational member of the Scottish Council on Archives, SJAC has created a collection of national significance which aims to document and illustrate the Jewish experience in Scotland. It is involved in collecting and preserving related records, looking at religious, organisational, social, economic, political, cultural and family life, as well as placing the Jewish story against the background of Scottish history and society. The Centre provides a research facility and an educational resource for the Jewish and also the wider community, in order to heighten awareness of the Jewish heritage in Scotland and to stimulate study of the history of the Jews in this country. SJAC’s collection continues to grow, week on week, and now constitutes an impressive record of an immigrant community, showing how Jewish people came here to make a new and better life, and how they made a contribution to Scottish society, economy and cultural life. The collection includes: • Records of Jewish organisations in Scotland such as synagogue registers, minute books, correspondence, annual reports, membership lists, brochures, magazines and newsletters relating to congregations, charity organisations, friendly societies, cultural groups, youth groups, political groups and politicians, and educational institutions (see Plates 1 and 2). These include, for example, complete archives of Garnethill Hebrew Congregation, the Jewish Lads and Girls’ Brigade, Lodge Montefiore, Glasgow Hebrew Burial Society and Glasgow Jewish Representative Council.
