The Women and Social Movements website has become a quarterly online journal publishing document projects that employ collections of 15-30 primary documents to interpret key issues in U.S. Women's History. We also publish full-text sources related to these document projects as well as teaching tools and book, film, and website reviews. We plan in the upcoming year to add a new section focusing on related worldwide web links that address the issues we focus on. Increasingly we see ourselves providing faculty, librarians, and students a worldwide web portal offering a broad array of resources for research and teaching in U.S. Women's History. In this spirit we are inaugurating a new feature on the website, "News from the Archives," to provide timely notice of news from archives and repositories of interest to researchers in U.S. Women's History.
Have there been recent developments in your library that would be of interest to historians working in the field of U.S. Women's History? Have you recently acquired or processed new collections and would like to publish a notice that will reach a broad audience? Women and Social Movements in the United States currently reaches about 160 academic libraries and monthly usage amounts to 50,000 unique users and is growing. Tanya Zanish-Belcher, Head of the Special Collections Department and University Archives at Iowa State University, will be editing this new section of the website. If you have news that you would like to disseminate through the quarterly journal and database, please contact her at tzanish@iastate.edu. She will collate responses, publish them online, and send you a copy of the announcement for your records.
We hope this is a new feature that will be widely used by archivists and historians. We look forward to hearing from you and to developing this resource.
Sincerely yours,
Tanya Zanish-Belcher
