First Call for Papers
Women’s History Network 33rd Annual Conference
Online via Zoom
Thursday 4 & Friday 5 September 2025
Hidden in Plain Sight: Women in Archives, Libraries, Museums and Personal Collections.
One of the many exciting aspects of researching women’s history is the discovery of previously unknown lives which have lain hidden or overlooked within public and private collections of papers and objects/artefacts across a broad range of repositories.
The aim of the WHN’s 33rd annual conference is to explore and celebrate the challenges of uncovering the presence of women within archives, libraries, museums and personal collections. It is also an opportunity for keepers and cataloguers to discuss issues related to the accessibility / inaccessibility of collections
It will provide a unique opportunity for these little-known or neglected histories of women to be revealed, for their stories to be recounted and evaluated, and for their impact in shaping society considered.
