Dear Anne-marie, Here at Feminist Archive North we have material on Abortion, in particular National Abortion Campaign. We also have the archive from FINRRAGE (Feminist International Network of Resistance to Reproductive and Genetic Engineering).
Unfortunately nothiong is digitised so it requires visists here. You can order material - preferable a week in advance as it is all in cold store - and then consult it whenever Special Collection is open.
Due to Refurbishment of all of Special Collections there will be no access in June and July and limited access till end December.
Regards Sandra McNeill

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 Archivist University of West London
