This article discusses the archives of Westbourne Park Baptist Church in London and its world-renowned pastor in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Dr. John Clifford. As leader of the National Passive Resistance League, the fiery Clifford came to be synonymous with the Nonconformist conscience at the height of its political influence in the early twentieth century. The article foregrounds the tension between what I call archival intimacy and archival precarity, while analyzing the power of seeing the diverse photographs in this collection as evidence of the gendered politics of passive resistance in the early twentieth century. Some— though not all—of the collection that I consulted at Westbourne Park Baptist Church in 2016 has now been transferred to the Angus Library, Regent's Park College, Oxford.

本文讨论了伦敦韦斯特本公园浸信会（Westbourne Park Baptist Church）的档案，以及19世纪和20世纪初世界知名的牧师约翰·克利福德博士（Dr. John Clifford）。作为全国消极抵抗联盟（National Passive Resistance League）的领导人，火爆的克利福德在20世纪初的政治影响力达到顶峰时，成为不墨守成规的良心的代名词。这篇文章强调了我所说的档案亲密性和档案的不稳定性之间的紧张关系，同时分析了将该系列中的各种照片视为 20 世纪初消极抵抗的性别政治证据的力量。我于 2016 年在 Westbourne Park Baptist Church 查阅的部分（但不是全部）馆藏现已转移到牛津大学摄政公园学院的安格斯图书馆。
