Merry Christmas! A History of GSA Christmas Cards

7-21 December 2016
Reid Ground Floor Corridor, Reid Building, The Glasgow School of Art, G3 6RF

The Glasgow School of Art staff and students have celebrated Christmas since the School’s opening, producing Christmas balls, theatre productions, fairs and cards to send to each other. The Archives and Collections present a selection of these materials including photographs, ephemera and Christmas cards made by GSA staff and students. Taken from a variety of the School’s collections including its photographic and ephemera collection, the deposited collections of alumnus Daisy McGlashan, staff Kath Whyte and alumus, lecturer and World War Two veteran Conrad McKenna; this selection of cards and archival items spans over 60 years of the School’s history and features the work of many GSA staff and graduates.
