在这篇文章中，我们讲述了一个草根女权主义档案的故事。单亲行动网络是一个位于布里斯托尔的全国性组织，在其历史上一直非常小心地管理自己的档案。当该组织在2016年被迫关闭时，这个不可替代的记录，文件和视听材料的存储库被毫不客气地丢弃在一个跳过。多亏了两名长期工作的SPAN工作人员的迅速行动，它被拯救出来，并成为一个由大学和社区合作经营的公共历史项目的基础。这个项目是围绕着一个社区研究人员历史小组组织的，该小组每周开会一次。该项目还包括对档案进行编目和保存，为将其纳入南方女权主义档案库做准备。项目团队与前SPAN工作人员、成员和志愿者进行了27次访谈，以增加档案，并在项目团队与参与该组织的人员之间建立了联系。最后，历史小组设计了一些创意产品，包括一件公共艺术品，一部电影和一系列纪念杯。文章反映了在这项工作中出现的一些紧张局势和困难。
In this article, we relate the story of a grassroots feminist archive. Single Parent Action Network, a Bristol-based national organisation, curated its own archive with great care throughout its history. When the organisation was forced to close in 2016, this irreplaceable repository of records, documents and audio-visual material was unceremoniously dumped in a skip. Thanks to prompt action by two long-time SPAN workers, it was rescued and became the foundation of a public history project run by a university-community partnership. This project was structured around a History Group of community researchers, which met weekly. The project also included the cataloguing and preservation of the archive, in preparation for its accession to the Feminist Archive South. The project team carried out 27 interviews with former SPAN workers, members and volunteers to add to the archive, and also served to create connections between the project team and those who had been involved with the organisation. Finally, the History Group devised a number of creative outputs including a piece of public art, a film, and a series of commemorative mugs. The article reflects on some of the tensions and difficulties that emerged during this work.
