The NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Archives were made accessible at Glasgow City Archives in the Mitchell Library for many years, with archivist Alistair Tough available on appointment for those who wished to see records within the collection. Although accessible at the Mitchell, the records were actually the responsibility of The University of Glasgow Archives. Since Alistair's recent retirement, there has been no access to the collection for researchers, with no replacement as yet appointed.
It now seems that the link to the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde on the University of Glasgow website has been disabled. However, those wishing to see if records might be available for consultation - albeit, not just now until a new archivist is appointed - can find the same page hosted at the Internet Archive at https://web.archive.org/web/20221126190801/https:/www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/archivespecialcollections/nhsgreaterglasgowandclyde/collections/, with the Hospitals and Clinics link providing access to individual descriptions for each collection item.
The description for the archive remains accessible also via ArchiveHub at https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/locations/9ec26c2d-96e4-3fcb-b8b5-3bee08ae6ec1.
Here's hoping access will be restored at some stage soon to these important records, and the link to the collection description on the live site repaired or reinstated.
