SUMMARY OF SCOPE AND CONTENT<br/>The Women Against Rape (WAR) papers are part of Canberra Women’s Archive (CWA), which was started early in 1982 by a small group of students at the Australian National University (ANU). CWA was supported but not funded by ANU and consists of the records of thirty-five community women’s organisations which were established in the ACT during the 1970s. The collection documents the history of the second wave feminism movement within women’s community groups in Canberra. <br/><br/>The Canberra Women's Archive was donated to the Jessie Street National Women’s Library (JSNWL) in 1993 by Mary Hutchison and Frances Sutherland when, due to lack of funds, it became impossible for the Archive to continue its operations. Conditions of the donation are that the collection be kept together and not subsumed into another major collection.<br/><br/><br/> |
