We have an excellent set of school records for Glasgow and less complete sets for the former Strathclyde areas of Bute, Dunbartonshire, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire.
As log books may contain sensitive information, these are closed for 50 years.Ĭompulsory education in Scotland began after the Education (Scotland) Act 1872 and many schools were established after this act. Hence prior to 1873 there are very few school records in our collections, with some exceptions such as the Glasgow School for the Deaf and Mossbank Industrial School. However you very rarely find information about individual pupils within these records. Some logbooks include comments about teachers and pupil teachers (trainee teachers). Log Books – these are journals kept by the head teacher and include information such as staff and pupil absence figures, fire drills and visitors to the school. Some registers contain sensitive information about pupils, for example the results of IQ tests. School records mainly consist of Admission Registers and Log Books:Īdmission Registers – these are the main source of pupil information and can contain the following information about each pupil: name, date of birth, address, date of admission and date of leaving. We also have a limited number of records for fee-paying schools. Glasgow City Archives hold records of schools under the jurisdiction of local authorities, including non-denominational and Roman Catholic schools. What records can I find in the Mitchell: Glasgow City Archives?
