The Open Archive: 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage

Vote 100 is an exciting new programme launching in Spring 2018 and lasting until International Women’s Day, March 2019. It will involve an array of events, web resources and open workshops marking 100 years since some of the first women in Britain were granted the right to vote. We want to make sure the names of Scottish heroines of the movement roll off the tongue and that their critical role in changing history forever is put centre stage.

The Open Archive: 100 Years of Women’s Suffrage, Saturday 28th July, 1pm to 3pm

Scottish Suffragettes fought for a voice at the ballot box; how have our lives been shaped by the struggles of these early campaigners? This Open Archive shines a light on the lives of these women through the fierce propaganda and everyday items in our museum. Pocket watches to postcards, Jus Suffragii to jewellery, this is your chance to hold history in your hand and learn from our archivist and museum curator.
