Naomi Jacob 1884-1964: Links to Glasgow Through Acting, and Forgotten Performances of Her Work

Among the many pleasures and privileges of being able to undertake independent research, which is free from time restrictions,

and the demands of others, is the discovery of information which can fill numerous gaps in the histories of individuals,

performances, and institutions, among other subjects.

 

In July 2024, Naomi Jacob’s name started to catch my interest, as I was looking through Scottish publications in The British

Newspaper Archive. To be honest, I knew next-to-nothing about this English writer, actress and broadcaster.

 

I hope that what I have found, have added, and will continue to add to this website, will be of interest and assistance.
