The Scottish Political Archive (SPA) is located within the University of Stirling and was founded in 2010.[1] The archive is made up of several collections that focus on the political history of Scotland in the 20th and 21st centuries.[2]

History

The archive was founded in 2010 and has gained a number of collections from Scottish political figures over the years.[1] The purpose of the archive is to preserve political memorabilia, which includes posters, newsletters and leaflets.[1] An important part of the archive is the material it has collected concerning the 1979 and 1997 devolution referendums,[3][4] and the 2014 Independence Referendum.

The archive has recently gained the Canon Kenyon Wright Collection which they are currently cataloguing.[5]
