This collection dates mainly from after 1988, when John McGrath and Elizabeth MacLennan resigned from the company which they had established, with David MacLennan, in 1973. Following the funding crisis in 2006, the company had to leave its base in the STUC building in Glasgow, and it was at this point that much of the material in this accession was presented to the National Library of Scotland.

Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series:

Aside from, though related to, his work with 7:84, John McGrath was involved in the study of political theatre, and was himself the subject of many articles, papers and dissertations. Much of the material listed in this section falls into this category, though there is also some that might equally well have been incorporated into the main 7:84 sequence, and vice-versa. There is some overlap with, and duplication of, items in the main sequence.
