Women’s Archive at OSU official repository for Oklahoma Women’s Marches

January 18, 2018

Last year millions gathered in cities across the nation for the 2017 Women’s March. The photos, signs, memorabilia and other documentation of Oklahoma’s part in that event now reside in the Oklahoma Women’s Archives at Oklahoma State University.

On January 20, Oklahomans will gather again for the state’s 2^nd Annual Women’s March. Archivists at OSU hope to add materials from this year’s event to the existing collection.

“By preserving physical and digital materials related to the marches, we can offer future students and faculty a window onto what was going on at this place and time and how it related to what was happening internationally,” Associate Dean of OSU Libraries Mary Larson said.

 The Women’s Archives at the OSU Library is accepting donations of materials related to the January 2018 Women’s Marches in Oklahoma. Contributions of both physical items (such as signs, buttons, stickers and flyers) and digital materials (e.g., photos, videos, organizational files, emails or social media) are of interest. To donate material related to any of the Oklahoma marches contact David Peters at david.peters@okstate.edu or 405-744-6597.

Once processed, the collected contributions will be open to researchers interested in a wide variety of fields, such as history, gender and women’s studies, media studies, political science, art history and others.

The Women’s Archives at Oklahoma State University serves as a central information source about women associated with Oklahoma. Its goal is to preserve the contributions women make to the state in all areas, including science, culture, business, and government, and it welcomes gifts that reflect women’s interests, activities, and intellectual pursuits from territorial days to the present. If you have questions about the Women’s Archives more generally, contact Mary Larson at mary.larson@okstate.edu or 405-744-6588.
