Such a pleasure working with you on both this article, and the wider project, Ellie! Thank you for transforming archival chaos to order.

Our special issue on Archiving, Exhibiting & Curating the History of Feminisms is now out in @womenshistrev. The aim of the issue was to think about feminism as method, subject and political project & its intersection with archiving/narrating history tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

And the best news of all is that the archive is open to all at @BrisUniSpColl archives.bristol.ac.uk/Record.aspx?sr… Thanks to @loweryhannah1 and her brilliant team for all their support in making this happen.

Many thanks to @jec_free for inviting us to write this piece!

Who knew that when the SPAN archive was dumped in a skip, it would lead to @ahrcpress funding, the archive finding a home @FemArchiveSouth, and a four year (and counting) collaboration with @WSBartonHill? Read all about it in @womenshistrev. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
