Post by Tim Binkley, Head of Special Collections and Archives:

I would like to share with you a new online exhibit of items from the Special Collections and Archives that has just been posted.

The Path to Woman Suffrage in the United States: 1848 – 1920 (https://scaexhibits.omeka.net/exhibits/show/pathtowomansuffrage) highlights period print materials from the curio book collection and the archives that advocated for (or against) extending voting rights to women. Normally we would show these works as a physical exhibit behind glass. However, due to current circumstances, the exhibit will be online only. On-campus students, faculty, and staff may make appointments to view all items in the SCA reading Room via https://berea.libwizard.com/f/ReadingRoom. As an added feature, the online exhibit offers hyperlinks to free online copies of the featured texts. So even if you cannot come to the reading room, you can still read the works in question.

The exhibit was produced to accompany the National Archives pop-up display “Rightfully Hers” that is currently in the Hutchins Library foyer. (https://libraryguides.berea.edu/blog/Rightfully-Hers-Popup-Exhibit-Celebrates-Womens-Suffrage-Centennial-at-Hutchins-Library)

I hope that you will enjoy exploring both and gaining some insights about the struggle for equal rights.

May we all value our hard-won voting rights enough to exercise them this fall.
