Our collections, which are held in existing record offices in Wales, and the National Library of Wales, range from single items to large collections of documents, photographs, newsletters and other material.
Our aim is to rescue material of all kinds which relate to women’s lives in Wales and to ensure it is properly cared for and preserved, and made accessible (subject to any restrictions) to anyone interested.
At present (2006), our collections are particularly strong in material relating to the women’s peace movement of the 1980s and 90s, and of the women’s liberation movement of the 1970s and 80s.
A project, Archives Network Wales, is currently underway to document the main collections of archives and record offices in Wales, and when completed it should be possible to search for AMC / WAW collections throughout Wales.
