Web Collaboration Project
As part of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Center for the Historical Study of Women and Gender collaborated with Women's History faculty from twelve institutions across the country: Brandeis, New York University, Rutgers, Swarthmore, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Tennessee Technological University, Oberlin, Grinnell, St. Louis University, University of Northern Colorado, University of Arizona, and the University of California, Davis. The faculty offered at their home institutions courses that gave students the opportunity to do research on women in social movements in the United States using primary documents to create editorial projects for mounting on the worldwide web.
