The 150,000 pages of archival and printed materials of Women and Social Movements, International, 1840 to Present –is now available. The project’s large advisory board reflected its chronological, geographic and topical range and the scholarly essays that became part of the archive as well as the collective culture of the Women and Social Movements websites.
More than 120 academic libraries have the archive online, one third of which are outside the United States. Co-published by the Center for the Historical study of Women and Gender at the SUNY, Binghamton and Alexander Street Press of Alexandria, Virginia, this online archive aims to create exciting new scholarship about women’s transnational activism, drawing for example on the (fully searchable) proceedings of more than 400 international conferences organized by women around the globe from 1876 to the present.
