Townswomen's Guilds moved offices c. 2005 and the archive material was moved. This has not been sorted out yet and the Organisation cannot give any information at this time or grant any access to its records / archives (Source: contacts with Townswomen's Guilds in April 2007). For information, this is the description of the archives of the Townswomen's Guilds given by Cook & Waller, Sources in Contemporary British History, vol 1, 1994 and C. Cook, The Routledge Guide to British Political Archives, 2006 (information dating back to pre-1994): "The papers of the Townswomen's Guilds remain in the care of [TGHQ]. At national level all committee and subcommittee minutes exist for the period from 1929 onwards. In addition there are preserved annual reports from the first issue in 1928-29 of National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship's reports, with some gaps during the war years; an incomplete run of the magazine Townswoman from 1934; financial records such as ledger books for a preceding five year period, and correspondence for approximately the last three to five years. Internal correspondence is arranged by Guild and Federation, and external correspondence by subject, organisation and individual. Chronological copies are retained by each department. Also retained are most conference programmes and some reports, copies of occasional published records and a photographic archive. Persons wishing to consult the papers should apply to [TGHQ] including a full statement of their reasons for seeking access."
