The archives include a library, founded by the Union of Swiss Women's Organisations (BSF).
In answer to a need, the BSF created a lending library by 1962 that is of interest to us even today. Inspection by professionals showed that this area with its collection of monographs, magazines and pamphlets is of great historical value for Switzerland.
Since the period when the Union of Swiss Women's Organisations was founded, a continuous stream of books, pamphlets and magazines on women's topics has been collected, partly from bequests and legacies, occasionally bought.
Our collection is constantly being supplemented and entered into swisscovery Bern special libraries
The library contains:
- Books and pamphlets
- Magazines
- Matura papers, master and diploma theses, licentiates and term papers
- Theses
- Cassettes
- Videos and DVDs
The library is an important work instrument for the Foundation and researchers. A book can only be borrowed if there is more than one copy present.
