Archiving activism

The aim of this project is to explore the ways in which radical, feminist and at times illegal protest actions are archived. The project was initiated by Rachel Tavernor during a three month PhD placement at the British Library (funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council).
The website includes two strands. The first, is a curated collection of resources on archiving activism; how libraries and archives decide what to collect and store. The second strand hopes to develop a section on the range of activist archives held at the British library. These are currently being developed but include campaigns on housing and animal rights.
