This teen (16 and up) & adult program uses Library of Congress women’s suffrage primary sources, such as letters, diaries, and women’s self-published information sources, to examine how suffragists documented their activism and feelings on women’s rights and social issues of the time.
Program attendees use recycled books, scrapbook paper, stamps, ephemera and personal effects to start their own scrapbook and create their own DIY personal history (that might become a future primary source!).
All materials are provided, but patrons are encouraged to bring small, paper personal items (like printed pictures, recipes, event tickets, cards, etc.) to customize their scrapbook.
