We’re excited to open the library’s doors in celebration of International Women’s Day, offering an opportunity to explore our archival collection on the suffragettes, women’s liberation and women’s organising in the trade union movement.

Saturday 8th March, 11AM-3PM
The image shows several archival boxes from the library’s collection, all of them have, “women” written on them. The text that sits above the image says, “International Women’s Day” in purple and underneath “Open Archive Day Saturday 8th March 11AM-3PM” in green.

Over the weekend people across Britain took part in the #BoycottBarclays Day of action for Palestine.
