Archive Expansion Through Oral Histories

Project tags:

archives & special collections

The Alene Moris Women’s Center is historically significant to the University of Washington and the surrounding area. Its archival collections will one day be housed in Special Collections. I added to their repertoire of materials and gained experience with organizing their archival assets by completing oral history interviews with the current director of the Center to document personal stories of the Center's leadership. Additionally, I helped develop a finding aid for the collection. Through the addition of these oral histories and the finding aid, the collection will become more robust and accessible to the community for future research.
