Describing Women's Collections: A Reparative Resource Guide

The Women’s Collection Section has compiled a number of resources on creating description for archival collections that feature women. Below you will find information on a variety of reparative projects that sought to enhance the discoverability of women in archival collections. We hope these sources will be helpful to any archivists looking to create or remediate archival description concerning women.
