Curator at Walker Art Gallery

Post by erika »

I've just discovered my gt gt aunt's son was Curator of the Walker Art Gallery probably around 1920.

Where can I find out more details about this man. I've googled him and only a couple of things came up, his burial and something in the archives at University of Glasgow.
Would there be anything at LRO?

Cheers
Erika :D

This is the search engine for the Record Office

A number of entries turn up when I entered Walker Art Gallery, so it's worth putting his name into there and see if anything turns up.

However, it's less than 100 years ago and I would think it might be worth contacting the Gallery direct to see if they have anything useful.

Hi Mary

Thank you for the link. Tried his name but nothing came up, I'll contact them tomorrow.

Just got so excited to have turned up someone with a "proper job" :wink: :wink:
