About this Item

Title

Other Title

  • By the People transcription campaign title : Organizing for Women's Suffrage - the NAWSA records

Summary

  • This dataset is an export of transcriptions for 41,130 images from the National American Woman Suffrage Association Records digital collection created by volunteers participating in the Library of Congress crowdsourcing program By the People (https://crowd.loc.gov) campaign Organizing for Women's Suffrage: The NAWSA Records. It contains text created by volunteers through a transcription and review process, volunteer-created tags, digital collections metadata, and metadata representing the arrangement of the items in the By the People platform, Concordia.
  • The dataset includes transcriptions and data generated from the pages in the By the People campaign Organizing for Women's Suffrage: The NAWSA Records (https://crowd.loc.gov/campaigns/organizing-for-womens-suffrage-the-nawsa-records/). The campaign consisted of a selection of then-available online images of digitized content from the National American Woman Suffrage Association Records (http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/collmss.ms000083). The transcription campaign included all of the digitized collection except for the Miscellany Series. The records of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) span the years from 1839 to 1961 and reflect NAWSA's multifaceted history, including the activities of precursor organizations involved in the abolition and women's rights movements, state and federal campaigns for women's suffrage, the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and international women's suffrage organizing. See the National American Woman Suffrage Association Records digital collection (http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/collmss.ms000083) for all available online items for this collection, as well as a timeline of NAWSA history.
