Women and Social Movements, International—1840 to Present

Women and Social Movements, International—1840 to Present is a new digital archive that offers documents generated by women's international activism since the middle of the nineteenth century. The completed online archive will offer 150,000 page of printed and manuscript materials. Building upon a decade's experience with Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1600-2000, we began work on this new archive in 2008. We assembled an editorial advisory board that met at the June 2008 Berkshire Conference on Women's History at the University of Minnesota. Board members helped conceptualize the project and in the fall and winter of 2008-2009, they responded to a preliminary bibliography of possible publications and manuscripts to be included. We published the first section of the archive in January 2011, with additions coming regularly over the next eighteen months. As of April 2012, more than 145,000 pages are accessible and we expect to complete posting materials to the site in July 2012. The archive is available to academic libraries around the world by purchase or subscription and will eventually be fully integrated into the other resources currently available on Women and Social Movements in the United States.

This digital archive will offer unprecedented access to the study of women's participation in international politics and social movements, 1840-2010. The long time span will greatly enhance our understanding of how women have shaped the modern world.
