The William Scott Archive contains William Scott’s personal and professional papers, including correspondence, photographs, exhibition catalogues and press cuttings. It also contains some of Scott’s brushes and paints, and a selection of objects he used in his still-life arrangements. There is also a smaller collection relating to his wife Mary Scott’s work.
The archive material was collected and maintained over the years by the Scott family, and continues to be preserved and catalogued by the William Scott Foundation.
Some additional material (sometimes copies of originals) has been donated to the archive by Scott’s contemporaries and their estates, by extended family members and by museums.
The Estate of William Scott has gifted his archive to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council through Fermanagh County Museum. This remarkable donation, now known as The William Scott Enniskillen Archive, represents an invaluable resource and source of inspiration for future generations.
