Women Writers Archive

Articles, correspondence, photographs and assorted indescribable treasures are contained in the overflowing Sitting Room archives. Over 270 authors and poets are represented here and curated by volunteer archivist Eloise Van Tassel. 

Our exciting new enterprise this year is to link catalog records for individual authors with their files in the Women Writers Archives.  For example, a search on Jane Austen has a tag, See also Women Writers Archive, to indicate that there is an archival file for this author in the Archive Room.  As a reminder—the Archive contains primary materials and unique, esoteric information, not only on famous women authors, but on some lesser-known treasures as well.
