The Women's Work Collection assembled on the initiative of one of the founding committee's of the Museum can be consulted on microfilm in the Department of Printed Books and forms a unique body of material relating to the involvement of women in the First World War. 

The Women's Work Collection is categorised into the various forms of employment undertaken by women and includes many photographs and letters of those women who died. If a relative was a member of the Almeric Paget Military Massage Corps or did work for the Lady Smith-Dorrien's Hospital Bag Fund, information can be found in this collection.
