Each year, the University of Strathclyde awards a small number of honorary degrees to people who have made an outstanding contribution to academia and learning, to the university, to society (nationally and/or internationally) or to enterprise or business in their particular field. Honorary degrees are now conferred at the university's regular summer and autumn degree congregations, but were formerly awarded at the annual Commemoration Day ceremony, or at congregations arranged for occasions such as the opening of new buildings on campus.
The registers record each honorary graduate's name, signature, the title of degree conferred, and the date.

Details recorded are graduate's name, signature, degree and class of degree.
No graduation ceremonies were held during 2020 or in summer 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A series of catch-up ceremonies, officially known as 'Celebrations of Graduation', was held from 18 March - 1 April 2022 so that students who had been obliged to graduate in absentia during the pandemic could attend a ceremony in person.
In 2024, the University introduced additional spring graduation ceremonies, held in March, specifically for the January intake student cohort. Most of these were international students and the spring ceremonies allowed them to celebrate their graduation together during the validity period of their existing visas.

Flynn's twin interest in the South African mining industry and in international corporations' conduct in Southern Africa dates back to his period with Granada Television's current affairs programme World in Action, 1979-1990. Over the ensuing decade he expanded his network of contacts with South African researchers and with lawyers representing South African plaintiffs. This series reflects the broad range of Flynn's network including its legal dimension.

A key focus of Flynn’s asbestos-related investigations were the activities of Cape Industries Ltd, registered in December 1893 as Cape Asbestos Company Ltd (name changed in 1974). The series listed here includes early registration documents, Cape Industries annual reports from 1974, as well as a run of the companies' house journal ‘CAC Magazine’, 1951-1963.
