Future of Women's Pasts Conference, Friday 26 June 2015

Hosted by the School of History at the University of Leeds, this one day conference brings together archivists, librarians, researchers and activists who run and use Women’s Libraries and Feminist Archives to discuss the histories of how women collect and archive and how this shapes approaches to collecting, research and activism both now, and in the future. 

The programme includes a key note lecture from Ann Schofield, Professor of Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies at the University of Kansas,  and presentations and roundtables with librarians, archivists and activists from the British Library, Feminist Archive North,Feminist Library, Glasgow Women’s Library, the Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre  in Manchester and Atria, the historic women’s library in Amsterdam. We will also present findings from a number of current archives projects:  Archiving Women in Film & TV and the Family Archives project.

The full programme is available here The Future of Women’s Pasts
