Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This goal of this project is to establish the Humboldt County Women’s Ethnographic Archive through the Anthropology department at Humboldt State University. An ethnographic archive is a collection of materials that provide historical and contemporary information about a place, group of people, or institution. Archives provide a repository for unpublished and other unique materials that preserve cultural memory and supplement the historical record. Women’s archives are particularly important as women’s contributions have generally been underrepresented in historical collections. The HCWEA’s mission will be to preserve the contributions and culture of Humboldt women from all walks of life.
