Archival history |
This collection of records of societies comprising officers appointed to deal with Poor Law and welfare matters in Scotland seems to have been collected by Archibald Muir, who was a Poor Law clerk in the Motherwell area in the 1930s. After war-time service, Mr Muir was an official in Social Work departments, finishing his career as head of Social Work for Stirling County Council. In 1955 he was elected secretary of the Scottish Association of Welfare Officers. |
