Women's History Consortium Resource Shelf
In researching women's history, we are uncovering a mostly still-to-be-told story, that of everyday women's lives in our Evergreen State. The Women's History Consortium attempts to bring together diverse paths to finding primary resources about Washington women. By tapping the collections of Washington State musuems, libraries, and historical societies, large and small, we hope to assist you in your own effort to tell the story of women's history. We hope the following research resources, tools and tips will aid your search.
