In researching women's history, we are uncovering a mostly still-to-be-told story,
that of everyday women's lives in our Evergreen State. The Women's History
Consortium attempts to bring together diverse paths to finding primary resources
about Washington women. By tapping the collections of Washington State musuems,
libraries, and historical societies, large and small, we hope to assist you in your
own effort to tell the story of women's history. We hope the following research
resources, tools and tips will aid your search.

This resource hopes to provide a table of
contents to the various written sources of information obtained by the WHC. These sources include articles
