Hi Anne-Marie
Might the Feminist Library be useful? https://feministarchivenorth.org.uk/ This also links to a number of feminist archives.
Best wishes

Hi Anne-Marie,
I'm not sure if they hold much archival material but you could try contacting the Vagina Museum (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vaginamuseum.co.uk%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C41d25b40da914df43e0008d7a97abd6c%7C1faf88fea9984c5b93c9210a11d9a5c2%7C0%7C0%7C637164216939297868&sdata=EmNGZ7xl%2Fa1k6KQVUBaV77Qt%2BaVnyZmLoYxYVpVGjww%3D&reserved=0).

Subject: Search for archival sources to assist with study on feminist activism and reproductive politics
I am looking for archive sources to assist a PhD student looking at visual culture and the politics of reproduction.
Initial ideas include suitable collections held at the British Library, the Women's Library at LSE, Bishopsgate Institute and possibly Wellcome Collection. The student is interested in sources relating to feminist activism around reproductive technologies. They are keen to find out if there are any relevant resources held internationally however I am unsure whether some kind of international archives hub/discovery system exists that can be searched. Alternatively do any members know of any collections held in the UK or internationally which might be useful?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Anne-Marie Purcell
