For the last #ExploreYourArchive focus day we're talking about #EYAYourArchive
Here is a sneak peek of ours!

[The Glasgow Academy Archive @TGAArchive]

Working in a school #Archive means doing all sorts of interesting & different tasks. Today, we digitised an old #Westbourne school choir cassette recording from June 1988.

[The Glasgow Academy Archive @TGAArchive]

We have quite a few old videos in our #Archive collection.
For today's #TriviaTuesday who can tell us where this was filmed? Hint, it is somewhere in Glasgow!

To end this month's #Archive30
this video from @ScotsArchives and @ARAUK_IE explains #WhyArchives matter so much more eloquently than us. Go watch!

[The Watt Institution @WattInstitution]

We digitised a collection of photos from the Greenock Burns Club some years ago which include a number of local women described only as Mrs (husband's forename and surname). This practice obscures their individual identity & makes research difficult.

[The Glasgow Academy Archive @TGAArchive]

For day 9 of #Archive30 the theme is #ArchiveAdvocacy
One of the best ways of raising the profile of a new archive is by having a social media profile.
We have been around for the last 3 years or so, maybe give us a follow!

[The Glasgow Academy Archive @TGAArchive]

For today's #Archive30 #DigitalArchives theme, here's an entry from our #ArchiveGlossary series. A surrogate can be physical or digital.
We hold #BornDigital & #DigitalSurrogates in our #Archive collection.

When you are still a fledgling Archive, many of the items you find have #untoldstories to tell. Like this amazing photograph of North House from 1916.
Who created the decorated mount?
Who are all the people in the picture?
What are their stories?
So many questions!

Delighted to do a careers talk @eSgoil about my job as an Archivist @WattInstitution for today's technology & Comms theme during #BritishScienceWeek2023
Especially when people don't realise the job is an applied science & heavily focused on digital!

And a #TapeboxTuesday bonus - this isn't really a tape box, but we wanted to share it as an oddity.

This is the Sony Easy Threader designed to help thread the end of a tape on to the take-up spool. This one is unusual because the threader is still present on the card.
