Most of our collection is in print form, and includes conference papers, pamphlets, posters and a small collection of key feminist books. Our large collection of local, regional, national and international feminist magazines and newsletters contains about 1,400 titles. We also hold textiles such as banners and tee-shirts, digital media such as oral history interviews and ephemera such as badges and mugs.
Explore our new oral history project, which documents the founding of National Women’s Aid through the voices of the women who were there at the beginning.
Our collection mainly consists of t-shirts and banners, but also includes other items such as tea towels, scarves, tote bags and placards.
Our collections are available for anyone to see and they are regularly used by students, academics and activists for research or for interest. However, you need to book, generally five days in advance. This is dealt with by Cultural Collections staff, who make arrangements for visitors to see requested materials in their research centre. We do not allow material out on loan.
Do you have any feminist newsletters, magazines, conference papers, photographs, badges, posters, leaflets or other materials? Would you like to find them a home where they will be of interest to generations to come?
