Photographs, slides, transparencies and scans relating to the work and activities of Alasdair Gray; with related digital and analogue media.
Scope and Contents
Includes slides, transparencies and photographs of artworks of Alasdair Gray and some of his friends and contemporaries, as well as audiovisual and digital material. The photo albums of images of Hillhead and the west end of Glasgow were likely collected to act as source materials for the Hillhead SPT subway mural.
Many of the slides, transparencies and photographs found here were collated for use in 'A life in pictures' (Canongate, 2009), and some were previously deposited with the Library as part of TD.3190, when the Library assisted in the scanning of these negatives for use in the book. Where the original numbering of TD.3190 is in place, these labels have been retained.
