FYI Date: Fri, 22 Oct 1999 16:29:32 -0500 From: "Kriste Lindenmeyer, Tennessee Technological University" <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: H-Net Gilded Age and Progressive Era List <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: ANN: Women and Social Movements Website From: Kathryn Kish Sklar <[log in to unmask]> Over the past two years, we have been developing a Worldwide Web site that we hope will be of interest to teachers and students in U.S. Women's History. The site is "Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1830-1930," and consists of editorial projects of primary documents that speak to the history of women in reform movements in the U.S. We now have a sizable body of documents--17 projects with roughly 320 documents--along with some graphics, links to other educational sites in women's history, and a search engine that makes material on the site quite accessible. We are hoping the materials will be valuable in high school and college courses in history. The URL for the site is: http://womhist.binghamton.edu We encourage faculty to use the primary documents for reading assignments in their courses or for possible student paper topics. We would also be very grateful if subscribers would add the site to online lists of links in the fields of U.S. and Women's History. The site has recently been selected by the NEH-sponsored site, EDSITEment, as a top website in the Humanities and it will be getting some added visibility from that source. Binghamton undergraduates are currently working on new projects for the site and the site will add another 8-10 editorial projects during the upcoming spring semester. We would be pleased to hear from users of the site with suggestions for additional editorial projects. Also, faculty who develop assignments based on the site should send us copies which we will consider for a new "teachers' corner" to be added next summer. Any other comments or suggestions for the site are very welcome. We look forward to being in touch further as subscribers to H-Women have a chance to explore the site more fully.
