AIL welcomes new member library

The Association is delighted to welcome the Sybil Campbell Library to membership and to this site.

The library was founded in 1928 by prominent members of the British Federation of University Women (now British Federation of Women Graduates) at Crosby Hall in Chelsea, where the library was kept until 1992. Books donated by notable literary figures and scholars of the 1920s and 1930s now form the 'original collection'. More recent acquisitions focus on the achievements of women.

You can read more on the Sybil Campbell Library's AIL directory page, and on its own site.
