Where HMS Argus photographs may be filed

William Beardmore records are the tentative lead for HMS Argus photographs, but the stream does not identify a confirmed Glasgow archive section.

Question

Which Glasgow University archive section is most likely to contain photographs of HMS Argus?

Short answer

Probably records connected with William Beardmore, but the exact section was not identified during the stream.

Notes

Repeated changes to company names complicate the search through Glasgow University's shipbuilding records. William Beardmore is tentatively identified as Argus's builder, with uncertainty about how well the firm's records survived after bankruptcy. Notes from an earlier doctoral research visit are offered as a possible way to recover the relevant archive trail. No exact collection or section is identified.
