Olive Chandler (fl.1945) appears to have had an interest in several women's groups in the period at the end of the Second World War. She apparently contacted both the National Council of Women and the National Federation of Women's Institutes to gain more information about their structures and their aims before collecting the material that they, in turn, sent her.

This collection is available for research. Readers are advised to contact The Women's Library in advance of their first visit.

Miss Chandler donated the archive to The Fawcett Library in 1993.
