- Abstract
The article presents information about the beginning of the International Archives for the Women's Movement (IAV). The IAV founded in 1935 in Amsterdam. By 1940, the IAV had collected a number of archives from Dutch women's organizations and well-known women. This article, based largely on a study of the pre-1940 archives of the IAV, is the first to use those pre-war archives that were stolen by the Nazis and subsequently taken by the Red Army, only to be returned to Amsterdam, the Netherlands in May 2003. It informs about their long-negotiated and dramatic return to Amsterdam.
