March kicks off Women’s History month nationwide. The pandemic continues to keep Americans at home, away from museums and historical sites. But this reality only fuels the rise of digital collections and exhibits, which allows would-be museum-goers to visit collections around the globe from the simple comfort of home. Here are some of our favorites when it comes to women’s history:
The National Women’s History Museum is nearer than ever to its goal of a permanent home in our nation’s capitol. For now, you can explore its exhibits online.
The Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative has a wide variety of collections online, as well as myriad events queued up for this month, including a virtual film festival, and Zoom lectures open to the public.
The Colored Conventions Project is a fascinating digital space that highlights aspects of 19th century African American activism, and many of the exhibits specifically explore the role of Black women.
Camille Elizabeth Stanford Openshaw was an alum of South Texas College of Law, and a legal pioneer in the Houston legal market. You can learn more about her at our Harris County Hainsworth Law Library digital exhibit.
Last August, the Harris County Hainsworth Law Library virtually hosted the 19th Amendment Centennial Symposium, accredited by the State Bar of Texas for CLE credit. You can revisit it here.
