The Archive Centre houses the University’s archives and special collections. The subject strengths of our archives and collections are Scottish left wing politics, trades unions, campaign, and pressure groups; Scottish social work, social policy and child welfare; Scottish public health; Scottish social enterprise; and our contribution to the development of Scottish higher education from the late 19th century onwards (dating back to 1875 and the formation of the Glasgow School of Cookery). There is an overriding theme of Scottish social history and social justice present in our archives and special collections.

Archive Services is the central place of deposit for the records of the University created and accumulated since its foundation in 1451. We act as the guardian of the University’s collective memory as revealed in the records of management, administration, staff, and students and thus protect the rights of all members of the University community. Our oldest records are charters dating from 1304 conveying land and privileges that eventually came into University hands. We are also concerned to ensure that a selection of today’s digital records will be available for use in future centuries. We are the recognised guardians of Scotland’s business and industrial history. Our remit is to acquire, preserve, and develop the use of these records by a local and global academic community and the wider public.

We select and preserve the records of Council and the local authorities that existed before South Lanarkshire came into being. We also preserve the records of local organisations, businesses and individuals. Archives are the unique, irreplaceable records of government, business, organisations and people. You can use archives to research your family tree, the building of your house and the development of your local area and community, and to investigate the actions of local and central government.
