DANGO (Database of Archives of Non-Governmental Organisations) is an archival project based at the University of Birmingham (UK). It aims to gather as much information as possible on the availability of records relating to non-governmental organisations and pressure groups active in the UK since 1945. The project's outcome will be a fully functional online database (currently already available for research, although as a trial and incomplete version).
