GPS's Archive is a valuable resource deriving from 30 years of Scottish fine art printmaking. It contains prints and related items including original blocks and plates, associated drawings, press cuttings, photographs and correspondence. This collection is not only unique in representing later 20th century printmaking developments in Scotland but is also a significant collection of artwork by major Scottish artists. The Past Impressions project allowed conservation and cataloguing of the collection and has been used throuhout the learning programme. Our new premises at Trongate 103 include an archive room and designated education room. As part of this exciting project we appointed a part time Project Curator who was responsible for cataloguing the works into an accessible archive and manage the safe relocation of the Archive. We recruited six volunteers, with an interest in fine art printmaking and museum/gallery work to help catalogue, package and relocate the archive into our newly refurbished venue. The project provides participants with key skills and experience handling and cataloguing artwork and other archive materials.
