A wide range of collectible memorabilia and large format materials such as newspaper items, photographs, feminist comic books, event notices, advertisements, conference proceedings, day calendars, posters, buttons, submissions to government, and group letters to supporters, and more. Materials are thematically organized in individual broadside boxes and stored for easy access on the shelves in one of our reading rooms.
We have the right resources to support your learning and research on the wide range of topics related to gender, feminist and women’s studies. While material from the broadside boxes cannot be borrowed, it can be reviewed in the comfort of one of our quiet reading rooms. For a fee, you can make copies of materials which cannot be checked out. Use the database below to find the type of resource you need.
