The former Beresford Hotel, Sauchiehall St, shortly after its opening in 1938. This wonderful Art Deco "skyscraper" was the tallest building built in Glasgow between the wars (ref: D-CA 8/2962)

The theme of #IWD2018 is #PressforProgress - and at @HistEnvScot we want to progress representation of the women from Scottish history often forgotten or ignored. We're starting with architect Jean Payton-Reid - can you help uncover her story? 👉 https://t.co/udqcaRniLv

I got to #ColorOurCollections thanks to @GSALibrary. It's mostly smudged because the ink and the glitter glue didn't get on too well. But also because Mackintosh rose from the grave and cried over it a little bit. With joy, naturally.

Happy Penguin Awareness Day! Know your penguins! There are 18 different species; all are found in the Southern Hemisphere, though the Galapagos lives near the Equator. The Emperor is the tallest at more than 1m. Many species are threatened or endangered #PenguinAwarenessDay
