Image and Sound
The Image and Sound collection includes posters, photos, cartoons, badges, textiles, and historical objects. Items can be in the 'Visual documents' section of the search platform. Generic descriptions can be found here.
The photographs mainly come from archives and collections such as the Pankhurst archive. This included the banners, logos, and scarves from the 'Women's Social and Political Union' that were designed by Sylvia Pankhurst. Most of the British posters come from the peace and human rights movement, as does the beautiful badges collection that was presented to the IISH by Mr Martyn Lowe. Insignia, commemoration tiles and other historical objects have been given the place they deserve. The Image and Sound collection also contains video and sound tapes and gramophone records.
