This year, the U.S. National Archives is celebrating the passage of the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote with a new exhibit, Rightfully Hers: American Women and the Vote. To correspond their exhibit which “highlights the relentless struggle of diverse activists throughout U.S. history to secure voting rights for all American women,” they have launched a social media campaign #19forthe19th, encouraging libraries and archives to share images from their collections celebrating women’s accomplishments. Each week from June 5th through October 9th the National Archives has designated a different theme to spotlight. You can check out the collection of contributions to the social media campaign from Atlanta University Center’s Robert W. Woodruff Library on the GLAM Center’s portal here. Be sure to follow the AUC Woodruff’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram feeds to stay up to date with events and collections from the GLAM Center!
