Overview
The Subject Collections are "artificial" collections, created by archivists from a variety of sources (donations and purchases) around a particular subject (unlike other collections that were created by individuials or organizations and donated to the SSC as a whole). The Subject Collections consist primarily of printed materials (pamphlets, articles, books, periodicals, clippings, fliers, broadsides, and other ephemera), but also include organization records, biographical materials, correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, and audiovisual materials. The most extensive subject collections focus on the women's rights, suffrage, peace, and women's liberation movements; education and employment; and the activities of American women abroad. Collections date as far back as 1540, however the bulk of materials date from the nineteenth to mid-twentieth century and new materials are added on a regular basis.
