Created in 1990, preserving the Women's Bookshop archive (Athens, Greece, 1983-1990).
It covers a wide spectrum of subjects about women and gender. It is especially rich in contents from the Autonomous Women area, and women's organisations of post-dictatorship Greece. There is also some interesting printed material from older periods.
Most of the indexed material comes from the period 1974-1990
and is in the Greek language, but also in foreign languages (mostly in English).
The archive includes:
- press clippings, organized in subject categories
and sub-categories,
- flyers, magazines etc. from feminist & women
organisations and groups, political and social organisations and groups,
academic, and general subjects of women interest,
- books, conference
folders, etc.,
- billboards, banners, etc.
.. along with small
collections of audio-visual material, utility objects, etc.
Additions and maintainance and processing of the archive
material work on a voluntary basis. A small part of the expences are covered by
friends contributions/donations and by charging a small fee for reproduction
permission of the Archive material (photocories etc.).
Due to lack of a
permanent basis, the Archive has had to move a number of times. Mostly though it
is open to the public.
