Abstract

Twenty archives, five grants, four co-PIs, and two project managers walk into a database… and walk out with 200,000 digitized frames. The Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries project, “In Her Own Right,” showcases the stories of women working to expand women’s rights during the century prior to gaining the right to vote in the United States. Looking back on the last few years and looking forward to the project wrap up in mid-2021, some of those who “made it happen” will tell tales of challenges met (or not) and opportunities uncovered. A staff member from a participating institution, a principal investigator, and the project manager will each share their top tips for large-scale, long-term, grant-funded, collaborative success.
