Digitised Collections

The Mitchell is committed to collecting and creating digital collections which can support information and learning.

The use of technology will improve access for people in Glasgow and throughout the world to our collections of national and international importance.

This has already resulted in our very popular Virtual Mitchell project and successful collaborations with SCRAN and The Glasgow Story.

Choose one of the menu options below for a brief introduction to that collection and to view some sample images.

• Sir Thomas Lipton Collection
• Thomas Annan Collection
• William 'Crimea' Simpson Collection
• Wotherspoon Collection

We hope to be able to provide further access to our collections in the near future.
