The library has assigned itself the mission of acquiring, protecting, and preserving the women-centred intellectual capital in Turkey with an emphasis on improving accessibility of information.

Information and documents about women from Ottoman times to the present are included in the visual archive classified by subject.

Artists with material in this collection include Hale Asaf, Tomur Atagök, Hale Tenger, Lütfiye Batukan, Aliye Berger, Zerrin Bölükbaşı, Nevin Çokay, Hamiye Çolakoğlu, Alev Ebuzziya, Neşe Erdok, Ramize Erer, Seniye Fenmen, Ayfer Karamani, Füreya Koral and Şükriye Işık.

The files contain interviews with the writers, information on their work, newspaper and magazine articles, criticism, and promotional writing.

Over 1000 articles [citation needed] written in the field of women's studies in Turkish, English, French and German are available to researchers.

The nucleus of the material in this section was formed by the transcription of audio and video recordings of discussions held during the pilot project of Women's Oral History.

Still in its early stages, this section is currently conducting interviews with the surviving first graduates of the Erenköy Girls Lycee in Istanbul, as well as professional women who have made important contributions to their respective fields.

The Foundation has published thirty six books related to its collections (bibliographies, catalogues, agendas, transcription of Ottoman women's periodicals) and has organized more than 535 cultural activities in the form of seminars, symposiums, exhibitions, and conferences.
