The University of Glasgow Archive Services hold a variety of records that can tell us about men and women who crossed the globe, to and from Scotland, for research, study, or for business. These records, held within the collections of the University and within the Scottish Business Archive, of which the University is custodian, can tell us stories from each of the world’s continents. This article will highlight a sample of stories that have been discovered within the University’s collections and shared on the International Story website: an online database where we can share and promote the biographies of individuals connected with the University who have international links. The stories selected come from six continents: Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North America, and South America. The lives of six individuals will be explored, how the records have preserved their stories and how these journeys have been uncovered and shared among our audiences.
