New Website: "Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1830-1930"
Over
the past two years , Kathryn Kish Sklar and Tom Dublin we have been developing
a Worldwide Web site that we hope will be of interest to teachers and students
of Women's History. The site is "Women and Social Movements in the United
States, 1830-1930," and consists of editorial projects of primary documents
that speak to the history of women in reform movements in the U.S. We now
have a sizable body of documents--17 projects with roughly 320 documents--along
with some graphics, links to other educational sites in women's history, and
a search engine that makes material on the site quite accessible. We are hoping
the materials will be valuable in high school and college courses in history.
The URL for the site is:
http://womhist.binghamton.edu
We encourage faculty to use the primary documents for reading assignments
in their courses or for possible student paper topics. We would also be very
grateful if subscribers would add the site to online lists of links in the
fields of U.S. and Women's History. The site has recently been selected by
EDSITEment, as a top website in the Humanities. Undergraduates at the State
University of New York at Binghamton are currently working on new projects
for the site and the site will add another 8-10 editorial projects during
the coming spring semester. We would be pleased to hear from users of the
site with suggestions for additional editorial projects. Also, faculty who
develop assignments based on the site should send us copies which we will
consider for a new "teachers' corner" to be added next summer. Finally,
if any readers of this notice are interested in preparing an editorial project
for mounting on the site, please write to either of the website co-directors
with your ideas. Any other comments or suggestions for the site are also very
welcome.
