Exploring Archives: of West Dunbartonshire & The Glasgow School of Art
Uncover hidden stories and artistic connections between WDC and The GSoA in a unique exploration, within Clydebank Museum.
Jennifer Lightbody has worked as Archives and Collections Assistant at The Glasgow School of Art since 2018 and as Archivist at West Dunbartonshire Council since 2022. Prior to working in the heritage sector, Jennifer worked in shipbuilding for 18 years, mainly designing quiet naval vessels. She has been researching her own and others’ family history for over 20 years.
This talk will cover information-rich sources from both WDC and GSA archives, and how to access them. It’ll also cover links between the two repositories, highlighting West Dunbartonshire artists and their works held at GSA, buildings in the local area with GSA connections, and local students recognised on GSA’s Roll of Honour and Home Front Memorial.
