KLPA ARCHIVE

The KLPA archive, including press cuttings, articles, papers, photographs, artwork, audio-visual material and artefacts reflecting the history of women swimming on Hampstead Heath from 1903 to the present day, is now housed by the Bishopsgate Institute as part of its collection of archives of Feminist and Women’s History.
