Scottish Magazines Network: Researching independent cultural & political magazines of 1960s-90s. AHRC Research Network run by @hinesjumpedup and @MalcolmPetrie
If you’ve visited an Alasdair Gray mural then you’ve most likely come across the sign writing skills of Robert Salmond, a trained sign painter who worked with Alasdair since the early 1980s. We’ve been recording him for a new educational resource on Gray’s murals, coming soon!
📢 1 July is the deadline for The Alasdair Ross Prize, which aims to support postgraduate students and early career researchers undertaking archival research on Scottish history and/or environmental history.

Came across this nice wee chapbook. @AGrayArchive @scotlit
