Welcome to the Pickard's Papers project!

This is a volunteer-led project funded by the Heritage Lottery and coordinated by the Britannia Panopticon Music Hall Trust in partnership with the University of Glasgow.

We are creating a digital archive based on a collection of scrapbooks from the early 20th century, belonging to A. E. Pickard, the manager of the Britannia Panopticon Music Hall in Glasgow. You can browse or search the collections, comment on the items, read the overviews written by the volunteers, and contribute your own stories.
