The photo collection contains portraits and images of well-known and lesser-known women who contributed to the history of women's gender equality and contains about 30,000 images.
The collection features work by well-known photographers who captured their times, such as Gon Buurman and Bertien van Manen. The collection also gives a face to Aletta Jacobs' contemporaries and a wide range of women's groups. There are photos of historic congresses, of actions and demonstrations of the women's suffrage movement and of the fight against gender inequality, of gatherings of women of colour, of lesbian women, Christian women, rural women, academic women and girl groups.
Many photos can be viewed online, but sometimes this is not possible due to copyright issues. In the reading room, however, all photos in the database can be viewed.
Many photos can be ordered for a small fee. The original version of photos can also be loaned, on request.
