Many libraries have shared their digitized collections through DPLA, making them much more easily searchable than through Google. Go here.

This Library of Congress collection includes 448 digitized photographs selected from approximately 2,650 print photographs in the Records of the National Woman's Party, a collection of more than 438,000 items, housed in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. The images span from 1875 to 1938 but largely were created in the years between 1913 and 1922. The images depict the tactics used by the militant wing of the suffrage movement in the United States—including picketing, petitioning, pageants, parades and demonstrations, hunger strikes and imprisonment---as well as individual portraits of organization leaders and members.

About a sixth of the projects on the subscription platform, "Women and Social Movements" remain freely available; the other projects, in addition to 170,000 pages of primary documents and enhanced searching tools, are available through Alexander Street Press. (We do not own that resource.)

The History of Women collection was first released on microfilm in 1983, reflecting the explosion of the then-burgeoning field of women's history.

A total of 8,500 books, 2,000 pamphlets, 117 periodical titles, 80,000 manuscript pages, and 800 photos make up the History of Women collection.
