The Feminist Archive has two locations, the Feminist Archive North in Leeds (FAN) and the Feminist Archive South in Bristol (FAS). An AGM and Trustees meeting was held in the Women’s Library, London, on 16 October 2010.

Highlights of the year:

• Public Meeting to welcome Bolton Women’s Archive
  
  Local Women’s Centres were a backbone of the Women’s Liberation Movement, but very few records exist of them and their activities. That is why we were delighted to welcome the entire archive of the Bolton Women’s Centre. FAN assisted them in preparing a successful bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund to catalogue their collection.

• International Women’s Day Event

  The 2010 International Women’s Day event, 8 March 2010, held in Special Collections, University of Leeds was open to the general public and focused on women’s activities for peace. We showed the Vera Media film, “Don’t Trust Menwith Balls”. The Peace Museum in Bradford loaned us an exhibition on women’s peace activism during the 20th century. The guest speaker was Helen John, long time feminist peace campaigner who was active at Greenham Common and at Menwith Hill women’s peace camps.

• Co-op Training day
  
  An open day for co-operative members and FAN supporters to learn about each others work was made possible by a grant from the Co-operative Society. There was a chance to have hands on experience in archiving.

• Networking and Outreach
  
  The University of Sussex has inquired about the type of records held by FAS and we have supplied lists as part of the Women's Library WLM network project.
