About this Event

Archives Drop-In: Our Space
Join Islington Archives for our monthly drop-in on the last Thursday of each month to explore displays from our unique local history collections.

This month’s drop-in display will feature collections relating to women's spaces across the borough, relating to the Our Space exhibition at Islington Museum.

The exhibition explores how urban environments can uniquely affect women’s feelings of safety, impact their mental health, and shape how women move in and through the world.

This drop-in collections display will feature posters, ephemera, photographs and press clippings offering insight into Islington's spaces for women. From community groups to healthcare services, you will learn about how these spaces have provided a sanctuary for the borough's women to gather, socialise and campaign.

Enjoy this display of unique archive material up close and at your own pace, with our archivists on hand to answer any questions.


There is no need to book a ticket - just drop-in between 3-6pm.
