Founded in 1991, the institution began as a grassroots organization and developed into Scotland's primary repository for materials about women's history and achievements.
The collection includes the Lesbian Archive and Information Centre, which moved from London to Glasgow in 1995, containing UK lesbian history materials from the 1920s.
