Many of the resources previously located here have been moved to an expanded database version of this website, jointly published by the Center for the Historical Study of Women and Gender at SUNY Binghamton and Alexander Street Press. It includes 28,000 pages of books, pamphlets, and proceedings -- in addition to the document projects found on this website. (For access to this expanded website, please click here to arrange a free 30-day trial subscription.)

Since March 2004, we have been publishing additions to the website quarterly on the Alexander Street Women and Social Movements subscription site (see current table of contents). We plan to mount additional resources regularly, including 5,000 pages of primary materials and eight new document projects each year, a growing body of images, book and website reviews, news from the archives, and new teaching tools that employ the site's documents.

The Alexander Street website features a Dictionary of Social Movements, a Chronology of Women's History, an extensive author database, and their award-winning Semantic Indexing™. Together, these tools allow you to access the document projects and primary sources in ways that are impossible on this or any other simple website. For more on how to use the expanded website, see our tips on how to navigate the Alexander Street Press site.

To access all the document projects and the much larger database of primary documents, and to utilize the research tools to take full advantage of the database, please consider a subscription to the Alexander Street website, Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1600 to 2000. Ask your library to sign up for a free trial and to subscribe, providing faculty and students at your institution access to the new site's expanded resources.
