Oberlin's Women: A Legacy of Leadership & Activism
Ken Grossi, Alexia Hudson-Ward, Heath Patten, Oberlin College.
Oberlin College Libraries' staff will discuss their efforts to highlight the contributions of Oberlin College alumnae in the suffrage movement and as leaders in diverse careers. The presenters will outline the various components of their project that included the creation of a commemorative calendar, an online digital humanities exhibit, and materials exhibit using primary source materials from the Oberlin College Libraries and Archives. The Libraries' staff worked with faculty and other members of the campus community in this collaborative effort. Attendees will have an opportunity to share their efforts to commemorate women’s suffrage and discuss the ways in which we use library and archival collections for teaching, research, and outreach.
