Collections – alphabetical and classification indices

The alphabetical index identifies the current holdings of the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Archives. Each collection reference leads to a summary description of the types of records held, and the dates of the material.

The classification index lists the current holdings of the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Archives according to the type of collection material held. There are currently four classifications – Hospitals and Clinics, Health Service and Local Authority Administrative Bodies, Associations and Organisations, and Individuals.

Collection policy

The NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Archives (NHSGGCA) exists to make provision for records of long term legal, administrative, epidemiological or historical value generated by the National Health Service within the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde area, plus similar records of predecessor bodies and those of individuals and associations actively concerned with health care.

In principle we accept records in any physical format, including computer–generated electronic records, microforms, audiotapes and videotapes. It is the policy of the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Board that the Archive should not normally accept museum artefacts.
