S22: Mrs. Doctor’s Wife: Re-Identifying Women in the Archives
This presentation will discuss a transcription project at the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s Health Sciences and Human Services Library. The project aimed to transcribe the minutes of the Woman's Auxiliary of the University of Maryland Hospital to make the collection more accessible. As part of the transcription, the project aims to re-identify the influential women in the volumes (i.e.: Mrs. Dr. Leonard Scherlis is re-identified as Mrs. Barbara K. Knafel Scherlis, to include her maiden name). The presentation will provide a breakdown of the history and work of the Woman's Auxiliary and provide insight into the identities and stories of some of the women. It will also touch on how women have been identified through history, and how we look back on them through a modern lens. Are we remembering these women the way they wanted to be remembered? Should we let them remain as Mrs. Doctor’s Wife?

S6: Oral histories on the Fast Track: Rethinking Archival Description for Oral History
มุมมอง 742 วันที่ผ่านมา
As archivists proactively seek ways to fill the gaps in the historical record, oral history has become an ever-more present form of documentary history within archives.
