Based at Newcastle archive, the Gertrude Bell archive contains over 10,000 items including correspondence, diaries, photographs (albums and negatives as well as loose prints), notebooks, lecture and photographic notes, and memoranda relating to her archaeology and travels in the Middle East. They include annotated images of photos on the peoples of Iraq.
Important for the history of colonialism, there are also some online exhibitions including one on Bell’s anti-suffrage attitudes.
