I recently featured Sheffield Feminist Archive @ShefFemArchive in a postgraduate course I teach (Subject: "Social Movements and Archiving") by utilizing the article written by Rosa Sadler and Andrew Martin Cox (2018) and SFA's website. x.com/travelinswallow/status…

◆Sadler, Rosa and Andrew Martin Cox, 2018, "'Civil Disobedience' in the Archive: Documenting Women's Activism and Experience Through the Sheffield Feminist Archive", Archives and Records, 39(2): 158-173, DOI: 10.1080/23257962.2017.1387523 @ShefFemArchive doi.org/10.1080/23257962.201…
