Biographical note
The North Kensington Women's Welfare Centre was opened in 1924 by the Society for Provision of Birth Control Clinics. The Society amalgamated with the National Birth Control Association (NBCA) in 1938 but the centre continued to operate as a semi-independent organisation. Margery Spring Rice was superintendent from 1924 to 1958 when she resigned over proposed organisational changes between the centre and central offices of the FPA. The Spring Rice [SR] papers also contain material relating to the North Kensington Centre. Some of the files had `old' references from the filing system used by the centre. These `old' references are in brackets after the NK reference.
