166932Newbury: 1982-c.2000. Positive creative energy will change the world This engaging collection of colourful and optimistic materials encapsulates the camp's ethos of compassion non-violence and female solidarity in its pivotal years of direction action. Included are handouts providing guidance for the "Embrace the Base" demonstration of 13 December 1982 and the "Reflect the Base" event that occurred a year later. The camp at Greenham was founded in 1981 and protested the British government's decision to allow 96 cruise missiles to be stored at the base; it remained at the base for 19 years. Its residents and other temporary attendees engaged in non-violent direction action which one handout describes as "using creative ideas and methods for closing this factory where nuclear warheads are built without threatening or abusing the workforce or the police". The flyers handbills and booklets from Greenham in this collection date between 1982 and 1983 which were the most widely attended years at the camp attracting tens of thousands of women. Greenham was run in a non-hierarchical cooperative manner and its political communications were designed to be accessible. However they contain serious content including advice on how protesters should proceed if arrested. One handout warns that "Non-violence on your part unfortunately does not mean people will treat you non-violently". Several items in the collection demonstrate the movement's importance to mothers and the effort made to be inclusive of them. One poster advertises a children's party on the Common in May 1983. The items in this archive were collected by a peace activist named Andrea. Along with materials from Greenham Common it contains similar communications from later women-centred direct-action movements and letters from peace organizations. There are also several feminist magazines from the 1980s including Lysistrata: A Wimmin's Peace Magazine which focusses on the experiences of Black and Jewish women. Similar material from the Greenham Common Peace Camp are held at the London School of Economics Women's Library. Together over 50 items mostly colour printed containing 26 handbills mixture of single- double-sided and bifolium page size ranging from 208 x 146 to 300 x 210 mm 10 pamphlets 4 posters ranging from 600 x 420 to 210 x 300 mm and other ephemera including white poppies newspaper clipping and bumper sticker. Housed in an archival box. Occasionally lightly damp-stained creased and foxed scattered nicks and short tears to edges: overall in very good condition. unknown

1475363 Eaton Rise Ealing 23 September 1891. 1 page 8 x 5 inches in good condition. Andrew Ainslie Common FRS 1841 1903 English amateur astronomer best known for his pioneering work in astrophotography. In 1876 Common became a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. About this time he also moved to Ealing outside London where he would live for the rest of his life operating an astronomical observatory from the back garden of his house. Common realized he would need very large telescopes to gather enough light to record the images of stars photographically so he began building a series of ever larger Newtonian reflecting telescopes using the then new technology of silver coated glass mirrors. Dr. Common was largely retired by 1890 and devoted himself full-time to optical design and construction until his death. Most of his time was spent in the design of telescopic and optical sights for the Royal Navy and the Royal Artillery in which work he was a pioneer. Captain later Admiral Sir Percy Scott one of the leading gunnery officers of the Royal Navy stated in 1902 that Dr. Common had .produced that is designed a telescope sight which would when properly used quadruple the fighting efficiency of our battleships. In response problems of rifle aiming and accuracy revealed in the 2nd Anglo-Boer War he designed an experimental short telescopic sight for the Lee Enfield rifle on a removable offset mounting graduated up to 2000 yards range which anticipated several features used on many later military rifle 'scopes. unknown
