BWHT Archives Donated to Schlesinger Library

schlesinger archivesThe organizational records of the Boston Women’s Heritage Trail are now part of the archive collection at the Arthur & Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America housed at Radcliffe College. On July 17, president of the board of BWHT, Maria D’Itria, and board members Linda Stern and Helaine Davis unloaded 4 cartons of materials dated from 1989 when the Trail was first organized. They are pictured above with Kathy Jacob of the Schlesinger staff. The collection includes founding documents, lists of local women who are part of Boston’s history, board minutes, newsletters, photos, videos, a banner, & some buttons & bookmarks. The  collection is already listed in Hollis, the catalog of Harvard University and is available to researchers and activists.
