Administrative structure
|
The Archdiocese of Glasgow Archive is located within the curial offices of the Archdiocese at 196 Clyde Street. The archive dates mainly from the arrival of Archbishop Charles Eyre (1869-1902) as apostolic administrator of the Western District in 1869, and holds mainly records generated by the Archbishop’s office and the central administration, departments, etc., of the archdiocese.
With effect on 4 April 1948, the suffragan dioceses of Motherwell and Paisley were created, and northern Ayrshire was transferred to the diocese of Galloway.
