Sophia Smith Collection

As part of the Five College Archives Digital Access Project (mentioned in the September 25, 1998 Scout Report), Smith College has digitized some of its archival holdings relating to women's history. The Website of the Sophia Smith Collection presents still more of the Smith College holdingsof "manuscripts, photographs, periodicals and other primary sources in women's history." The site includes brief descriptions of over 300 manuscript collections, lesson plans for using primary source materials, links to additional women's history resources, and selected digital images. A permanent exhibition, Agents of Social Change, showcases some materials online. The exhibit contains pictures and digitized documents on eight 20th-century women and organizations working for women's rights. Visitors will find items such as a brochure about the National Congress of Neighborhood Women (NCNW), a grassroots feminist organization; a 1980 photo of an NCNW march on New York City Hall; Gloria Steinem photographed at the Ms. office in 1983; and fan mail to Steinem after a TV appearance.
