Collections

Posted on 19/02/2016

Feminist Archive North’s collections are regularly used by students, academics and activists for research or for interest. Whatever your particular area of interest, we will try to see if we can help with any relevant materials.

We hold over 1700 local, regional and international feminist newsletters, journals and pamphlets, many unique to the FAN collection. Our collections include material on family, health, employment, social policy issues, the arts, media, militarism and peace, lesbians, women’s studies, women’s aid, local women’s centres, criminal justice, men’s violence against women and girls, and the politics of the Women’s Liberation Movement. You can see our Collections Policy here

Our collections are available to search online in Leeds University’s Special Collections database.

Digital Oral Histories

A new addition to our Digital Oral Histories – In Our Own Words – a series of interviews documenting the founding of the National Women’s Aid Federation. These can be listened to here by clicking the link above.

Two earlier sets of oral history interviews held by FAN have been digitised and are available to hear via our online catalogue. There are 20 interviews from a 1995 project on women in the Women’s Liberation Movement in Leeds and Bradford,  and 12 interviews done by by Lee Comer and Lou Lavender in 2007 with 1970s and 1980s feminist activists in West Yorkshire. Click on the blue ‘digital media’ button you will see at the top of the page.

You may also be interested in a series of oral histories recently carried out by the Remembering Resistance project with women political activists in the North.
