The Searchlight Archive collection at the University of Northampton is a leading collection of material on the extreme right and anti-fascist movements, primarily in post-war Britain but including some material from pre-Second World War and international material as well from across the globe. Open to researchers since July 2013, the Searchlight Archives has assisted numerous researchers, PhD cand

idates and undergraduate students with their work, from students here at Northampton to students from across Europe and even North America and Australia. Located at the University of Northampton's Park Campus, access is open 4 days a week (Mondays to Thursdays) by appointment with the archivist, Daniel Jones. For all queries please contact our archivist, [email protected]
