DescriptionThis collection of printed books, pamphlets, periodicals, manuscripts and photographs is based on the selected holdings in women's history of the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College; the Sophia Smith Collection (Women's History Archive) at Smith College; the Jane Addams Memorial Collection of the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Campus; the Galatea Collection of the-Boston Public-Library; the Miriam Y. Holden collection; the Ida Rust Macpherson Collection at Scripps College; and materials f-rom the New York Public Library, Widener Library at Harvard University, and the Yale University Libraries. The collection includes approximately 12,000 volumes of printed books, over 2,000 pamphlets, 1,000 photographs, approximately 117 periodicals, and 100,000 pages of manuscript material.
The collection is divided into five sections: (1) monographs; (2) pamphlets; (3) periodicals; (4) manuscripts, and (5) selected photographs. Materials are arranged on the reels in chronological order. Periodicals, which are grouped and numbered separately, are arranged alphabetically by title. Manuscripts and photographs are arranged by personal or organizational affiliation. (See attached list of manuscript collections.)
The guide contains five parts: (1) reel guide summary, which lists a range of item numbers found on each reel; (2) main entry index for nonperiodical items, which provides a bibliographic citation, reel number and item number; (3) subject/added entry index, which provides the item location number of the corresponding material; (4)name index to photographs; and (5) periodical title list. Further descriptive information can be obtained by consulting catalogs and guides for the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library, the Sophia Smith Collection, the catalog of the Galatea Collection (see Women's Studies Pamphlet Collection, Reference Room), and the "List of Works in the New York Public Library Relating to Women," New York Public Library Bulletin, December 1905, pp. 1-57.
