The archdiocesan archive, based in the Curial Offices at
196 Clyde Street, Glasgow, G1 4JY, is primarily
the archive of the Bishop’s Chancery and
Office.
The correspondence and Minute
Books within the archive date principally from
the arrival in the west of Scotland, in January
1869, of Archbishop Charles Eyre. Information
on records available for consultation can be obtained
from the archivist.
It is possible, by prior appointment,
for researchers to visit the archive. Appointments
should be made by contacting the archivist either
by letter, or by ‘phone on 0141-226-5898
x154. When arranging your first visit new readers
will be asked to provide a letter of introduction,
for example from their supervisor.
With the exception of photocopy
requests, no charge is made for users carrying
out their own research.
Parishes in the county of Lanarkshire
have, since 1948, belonged to the diocese of Motherwell.
Parishes in the county of Renfrewshire have, since
1948 belonged to the diocese of Paisley; and parishes
in northern Ayrshire have, since 1948, belonged
to the diocese of Galloway. The archdiocesan archive
does not hold any post-1948 material for these
parishes but pre-1948 material will be included,
for example, in the General Correspondence section.
