Coverage: 1763-2016
Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland since 1871 merged Ethnological Society of London founded in 1843 and Anthropological Society of London in 1863. This primary source database contains Institute's collection of manuscripts, photographs, drawings and maps as well as research outputs of Institute members.

Much of history is one-sided, focusing mainly on the male perspective and leaving women's voices unheard. Bringing women’s stories to light, the Women’s Studies Archive connects archival collections concerning women’s history from across the globe and from a wide range of sources. Focusing on the evolution of feminism throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the archive provides materials on women’s political activism, such as suffrage, birth control, pacifism, civil rights, and socialism, and on women’s voices, from female-authored literature to women’s periodicals. By providing the opportunity to witness female perspectives, Gale’s Women’s Studies Archive is an essential source for researchers working in Women’s History, Gender Studies and Social History.
