Glasgow Motorway Archive
The Glasgow Motorway Archive (founded in 2010) is the largest private collection of roads and transportation records and photographs[1] in Scotland. Its aim is to preserve and share its collection of unique records and to promote wider understanding of some of the most significant civil engineering projects ever undertaken in the city of Glasgow. The Archive was initially formed from the collection of engineering and transportation records of John M. Cullen, one of the co-authors of "A Highway Plan for Glasgow", published in 1965. The collection has expanded considerably in the past decade, now containing several thousand records. Many of these are not held by the main public records institutions in Scotland.
The Archive is a volunteer organisation and is run independently on a non-profit basis. The Archive has featured widely in the media[2] and its comprehensive website is an extensive resource on the history of postwar roads in Glasgow and Scotland. This includes major motorways such as the M8 and M74, as well as major river crossings such as the Clyde Tunnel, Kingston Bridge[3] and Erskine Bridge.
