Celebrating the Legacy of Suffrage with the League of Women Voters of Baltimore City Records

Abstract

2020 was both the centennial of the 19th Amendment in the U.S. and the 100th Birthday of the League of Women Voters of Baltimore City. In preparation for these significant events the processing archivist at University of Baltimore Special Collections & Archives and the SC&A 2019 graduate intern began a project to re-process the legacy collection, add a new accession, update the finding aid, and create a new digital exhibit. This poster describes the project itself, the internship experience and digital exhibit, and the archivist’s work reprocessing a legacy collection. The poster features how the archivist and a museum studies student intern collaborated throughout the project and highlight lessons learned.
