Each month, our archivist and her volunteers select a unique item from the Archive to explore in detail and to show the incredible range of materials that can be found in our archive collections.

Archive Item of the Month: Sappho
To celebrate LGBT History Month, this month’s item from the Archive comes from the Lesbian Archive. In this post Alice Andrews, one of our , talks about Sappho magazine and its important role in Lesbian history.
Greenham Common in the Archive
This month not only marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of Glasgow Women’s Library but also it is 30 years since women arrived at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire in order to oppose the siting of 96 nuclear cruise missiles at the base.
At the library we have some items relating to Greenham Common and other materials from the women’s peace movement including badges, music and leaflets.
The Edible Archive
The Scottish Council on Archives is running a project to collect recipes, from families and individuals, from the familiar to the bizarre. With this in mind, I thought I would see what we had within our collections.
