Seventy-Five Years of International Women's Collecting: Legacies, Successes, Obstacles, and New Directions (Session 506)

These three papers investigate the establishment and trajectories of three institutions devoted to the documentation of women's history: the World Center for Women's Archives in New York, the International Archives of the Women's Movement (now known as the Aletta Institute for Women's History) in Amsterdam, and the International Museum of Women in San Francisco. The panelists detail the challenges faced by each institution and discuss the key founding personalities.
