Title
Conference of Scottish Savings Workers at Aberdeen
Description
A photographic group portrait of delegates from a conference of Scottish Savings Workers that took place in Aberdeen on 18th and 19th June 1920. A newspaper article previewing the conference in the <i>Aberdeen Daily Journal</i> of 17th June 1920, page 4, states that 500 delegates from around Scotland were expected to attend. The article indicates that this group photograph, taken in Union Terrace Gardens by photographer David Milne, of 158 King Street, was scheduled for 9.30am on Saturday 19th June. This was following an early morning trip to Aberdeen Fish Market and before the conference was to restart at 10.30am. The conference itself took place in Trinity Hall on Union Street. The focus of the Scottish Savings Workers at the time included a campaign for the sale of certificates to repay a Anglo-French loan and extending the savings movement in schools and churches. The Scottish Saving Committee, styled here as the Scottish Savings Workers, was started during World War I to raise funds with the sale of war bonds and saving certificates. They continued after the war, changing their focus to national recovery and the encouragement of thrift as an individual and societal good. Document dimensions: 34 x 44 cm.
