Word on Women
The
Word on Women: A Directory of Historical Records Collections Documenting the History of Women in New York State was designed
as a research tool to document the contributions made by women throughout the State of New York in the fields of science, education, religion,
art, medicine, and in numerous other walks of life. This directory improves the documentation of women and women’s organizations that, purposefully or not,
contributed to events of the past that shape our present lives.
Originally produced in 1999, this resource guide contains entries from over 100 archives, libraries, historical societies, schools and other repositories
holding historical records in which women are represented. Each entry contains a brief description of the repository’s holdings specific to women, contact
information for the repository, and other useful information for researchers.
