Archive Services: Annual Review 2013/14 1 Archive Services: Annual Review 2013/14 1. Overview of the year Our major achievements in support of the University Strategy this year are: Successfully applying to the Chancellor’s Fund to support the Campus Development initiative by capturing the architectural history of the University’s 172 buildings and presenting it as part of the University Story website. Enhancing the graduate attributes of 75 student interns from a diverse subject range and receiving a Learning & Teaching Fund award to investigate the potential for turning this into a core service to benefit students. Establishing a new partnership with the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology and the History subject area to ensure the University has an accurate and user-friendly dataset on which to base its Great War Commemoration activities. This work is supported by the Chancellors Fund for one year from March. The First Minister was among those to see the archive display at the Commonwealth Commemoration event marking the start of the First World War.

Securing National Manuscripts Conservation Trust funding to preserve and conserve our earliest shipbuilding drawings in the internationally important William Simons Collection. Sharing our knowledge by providing a Digital Preservation Traineeship as part of the Heritage Lottery Fund Skills for the Future Programme. This is in association with the University’s Digital Library Team and the Digital Preservation Coalition. Reaching over 2000 followers on Twitter, making us among the most followed Archive Services in the English speaking Higher Education sector. 2. Delivering excellent research 2.1 Enhancing research strengths In March we worked with Special Collections on a Research Inspiration event that was very well attended. We were highlighting new acquisitions and items with untapped potential. The items from the Lumsden of Arden and Blackies printing and publishing archives proved particularly popular with the assembled audience. 1 A number of new postgraduate research degree partnerships have been inspired by University collections in recent years. There are currently four such ongoing projects using our collections. These now encompass innovative research in all four Colleges.

Our biggest single project this year has been to catalogue the papers of the Edinburgh based shipping company, Ben Line. From their foundations in 1839 they went on to establish successful trade routes to Europe, Canada, the Far East and the Baltic. They sold the last of their ships in 1992. The collection will be available to researchers in late 2014 and will enable many new research possibilities on Scotland’s trade with the rest of the world. 2 Image: Photograph album from the African Lakes Corporation collection (UGC193) Thirty-seven new catalogues have been uploaded to the JISC Archives Hub, including the finding aid for five shelves of the wonderful African Lakes Corporation collection. Established in Glasgow in 1878 as The Livingstonia Central Africa Company by a number of philanthropists in support of David Livingstone's plea for the establishment of regular trade routes and the introduction of lawful commerce to exterminate the slave trade and obtain security for the native inhabitants of Central Africa, African Lakes is set to be one of our most consulted collections in future years. 2.2.2 Projects This has been a year of consolidating and building on our existing academic partnerships. In the College of Arts we have again worked with colleagues in the Centre for Textile Conservation and Technical Art History on their new Royal Society of Edinburgh funded project ReCREATE. This follows on from their ReINVENT project and is a multidisciplinary research network to rediscover and reconnect the tools, materials, laboratory and workshop environments, manufacturing skills and experimental practice that Scotland used to make colourful decorative textiles in the Industrial Revolution. In 2014/15 the first of four ReCREATE workshops will be held at Archive Services and showcase our textile collections to the academic researchers participating. Having been planned in 2012-13, our partnership with the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology and the History subject area was formally established with a Chancellor’s Fund grant to Dr Tony Pollard in October for Glasgow University’s Great War: A Centenary Project. This has two main aims of enhancing the Roll of Honour website and building an education programme to engage the widest possible audience in understanding the impact of that conflict on our community. The archive collections will feature heavily as we tell the stories of the 761 who died and the 4500 who served. It has been greatly beneficial having History’s Dr Jennifer Novotny based with us using the collections on a daily basis. Strong links have been formed between the Project and Glasgow City Council’s First World War Glasgow staff to ensure the University is well represented in City wide commemoration activities starting with the Commonwealth Commemoration Centenary event on 4 August. Project staff and students will be showing the archives and telling Commonwealth leaders about Glasgow’s Commonwealth alumni who served in many different ways. This Project has also been supported by the Friends of Glasgow University Library who have awarded a grant for digitisation and for students to create online exhibitions to showcase the wealth of resources the Library holds for the study of the First World War. Our five year collaboration with Professor Kevin O’Dell in the Genetics subject area continues. There are two exciting new developments to report on this year. We were delighted to be asked if Glasgow will host the Sixth International Workshop on the History of Human Genetics in June 2015 with the 3 principal themes Human Gene Mapping and Oral History of Human Genetics. This recognises the important role Glasgow has played in the history of Genetics evidenced particularly in the archive collections of Guido Pontecorvo, James Renwick and Malcolm Ferguson-Smith. The second development came in July with the news that Paula Blair was successful in her application for a Wellcome Trust Studentship for Masters. She will be co-supervised by Professor O’Dell and Professor Malcolm Nicolson in Economic & Social History. Other Social Sciences projects continue most notably with the School of Law’s Centre for Copyright (CREATe) in their investigation of the copyright issues arising from the digitisation of archives and with the Centre for Business History in Scotland in working with the Business Archives Surveying Officer to identify research opportunities within the Scottish Business Archive collections. We have worked with The Hunterian to support their new Science Showcase series. ‘Born in Glasgow: 100 years of Isotope Science’ was the first in this series and ran from 4 December 2013 - 30 March 2014 and The Clyde Urban Super Project (CUSP), ‘What’s Under Our Feet: Exploring Glasgow’s Sub-surface’ ran from 2 May - 31 July 2014. Both exhibitions drew heavily on the University Archive collections. 2.2.3 Visits In June, Humza Yousef MSP the Scottish Government Minister for External Affairs and International Affairs visited the Scottish Business Archive. This was a unique opportunity to demonstrate the international knowledge exchange activities and the potential uses of business archives for academic research and economic development purposes. Our display included items from our textile, engineering and shipping collections. The Minister later commented in his Evening Times newspaper column (7/7/14): “Recently, I also had the pleasure of visiting the Scottish Business Archives at Glasgow University, which holds important collections of business records from Scotland from the 18th century onwards. It was fascinating to see the wide variety of businesses that have started in Glasgow and across Scotland, and it definitely shows how this city led the way in industries such as ship building and mining. It makes me very proud that so many businesses with great heritages began in Glasgow.” We have hosted several research visits from colleagues in the archives sector keen to discuss our working practices. In March we were visited by two archivists from Vestfoldarkivet, an archive institution in Vestfold, Norway. They visited us specifically to discuss the management of our extensive shipbuilding collections

    ALAN RODGER Alan Ferguson Rodger 1944–2011 LORD RODGER OF EARLSFERRY, Justice of the United Kingdom Supreme Court, died from the effects of a brain tumour on 26 June 2011 at the age of 66. He was not only a lawyer and public servant of the highest distinc- tion but also a scholar with an academic publications record in Roman Law in particular that earned him election as a Fellow of the British Academy in 1991.1 The bare facts of his glitteringly varied career can be simply told. Brought up and educated in Glasgow before taking a D.Phil. in Roman Law at Oxford under the supervision of Professor David Daube, in 1974 he was called to the Scottish Bar, becoming as soon as 1976 Clerk of the Faculty of Advocates. He was appointed QC and an Advocate Depute in 1985, and then became a Scottish Law Officer under the Conservative Government, first as Solicitor General for Scotland in 1989 and next as Lord Advocate in 1992. He was appointed to the Scottish Bench in 1995 and in 1996 succeeded Lord Hope of Craighead as Lord President of the Court of Session and Lord Justice General in the High Court of Justiciary. In 2001 he joined Lord Hope as one of the two Scottish judges in the House of Lords; and when that court was trans- formed into the UK Supreme Court in October 2009 the two became the 1 He was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1992, and a Corresponding Fellow of the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften in 2001.

  • [1] Economic History at Glasgow Before 1957
    [1] Economic History at Glasgow before 1957 The origins of Economic History as a distinct discipline lie in the nineteenth century. Dissatisfaction with the traditional concerns of historians with constitutional, political and ecclesiastical history led the Oxford historian, James E. Thorold Rogers, to write his monumental History of Agriculture and Prices in England (seven volumes, 1866-1902). Rogers occupied the Drummond Chair of Political Economy, outside the History School, although economic history topics were covered in the examinations in both Political Economy and History. At Cambridge, economic history appeared in the Political Economy and History Triposes. Other universities and colleges offered Economic History in the early twentieth century. At Glasgow, short courses were offered on ‘social and economic The young R. H. Tawney. history’ under the auspices of the School of Social Study and Source: University of Utah.

Modern history itself first appeared in the national institutions.’ An ambitious syllabus – focusing on Glasgow curriculum only in the late nineteenth British history – covered manorial England, the Black Death, century.

The Lodge) was first appointed in 1894, and a set books were George Townsend Warner, Landmarks in English Professor of Scottish History and Literature Industrial History (1899) and Hugh Owen Meredith, Outlines of (Robert Sangster Rait) followed in 1913.

Transactions of the Burgon Society, 12 (2012), pages 10–35 Tradition and Humour: the Academic Dress of the University of Glasgow By Neil Dickson he University of Glasgow was founded in 1451. It is the second oldest university in Scot- land and the fourth oldest in the UK (after Oxford, Cambridge and St Andrews). By the Tend of the sixteenth century Scotland had five universities,1 compared with England’s two.2 This situation continued for more than two hundred years: it was only in the nineteenth century that England finally caught up with Scotland. So perhaps one might expect that Scotland would have a long, continuous and colourful history of academic dress. However, as we shall see, that is not the case. The reason can be expressed in two words: the Reforma- tion. The presbyterian Church of Scotland that emerged from the Reformation was much more austere than the episcopalian Church of England, and exerted its influence over many aspects of Scottish life.

  • The Memorial Chapel of the University of Glasgow
    The Memorial Chapel of the University of Glasgow Common worship has been part of the life of the College and University of Glasgow from its inception. Before the Reformation its members were closely associated with the Cathedral and with the Dominican friary (Blackfriars), which adjoined the College in the High Street. In 1572, after the dissolution of the friary, the Blackfriars’ Church became the property of the College and was thereafter used as the College Church. In 1635 it was handed over to the city council, however, the College continued to attend services in it and contributed to the cost of rebuilding it after it had been completely destroyed by lightening in 1670. In 1764 services were instituted in the College Hall, but they were suspended in 1848 and the College attended services in the parish church of St Paul. Students who were not dissenters, and whose parents or guardians did not desire their presence at some other place of worship, were all required to attend. After the migration of the University from the High Street to Gilmorehill in 1870, services were once again held on campus. Initially the Hunterian Museum and later the Bute Hall were the places of worship, until the Memorial Chapel was completed in 1929. The Chapel Building Originally the west quadrangle at Gilmorehill opened on to Professors’ Square, but with the construction of the new arts buildings and the University Chapel, it was closed off. Ian Bowman recalled how the scaffolding that surrounded the ongoing building works became an irresistible attraction for the children of the Square, who were thus enabled to acquire ‘a minute knowledge of the upper reaches of the building.’ Once completed, the effect from the outside was dramatic: the Chapel majestically bisected the new west façade.
