*A History of Social Enterprise in Scotland - a travelling exhibition curated as part of a Scottish Government funded project to develop the Social Enterprise Collection (Scotland). The project is based on a collaboration between the Glasgow Caledonian University Archive Centre and the Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health and aims to inspire social enterprise in Scotland by preserving and retelling the history of the sectors distinctive heritage. The exhibition will provide an introduction to the history of social enterprise in Scotland and showcase the images and documents held within the archival collection. By taking these materials on tour, the project team hope to show that consigning material to the archive does not mark the end point of a project or organisation, but can be the spark for a whole range of new beginnings.
