These records are unique and attract scholars from around the world, but they are scattered, undigitized and many are incomplete. This has hampered research on all aspects of women\u2019s admission to Oxford, and has made tracing individual women and organisations very difficult. This project will transform this situation by integrating these collections to provide a world-class research resource and information hub. This resource will alert readers to new research possibilities, as well as contributing to the appreciation and study of women\u2019s and gender studies in the University.<\/p>\n<p>This project has three main components, all of which will be linked through a central website:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Primary sources: New union catalogues of registers of students, staff etc \u2026 previously unavailable outside individual colleges and digitized records on women\u2019s education and activism held in the former women\u2019s colleges and the Bodleian Library.<\/li>\n<li>Secondary sources: Annotated essays, case studies and short histories of women in Oxford written by academics in the field.<\/li>\n<li>Interpretations and teaching aids: A women\u2019s history walking tour app, featuring commentary by a number of Oxford women, an interactive timeline, a virtual exhibition featuring key documents and objects from the archives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is a collaborative project which involves the women\u2019s colleges (St Anne\u2019s, St Hilda\u2019s, St Hugh\u2019s, LMH and Somerville), Women in the Humanities (TORCH), Bodleian Libraries (Digital Bodleian) and the History Faculty. Its launch will coincide with the centenary of women\u2019s formal admission to Oxford in 2020, and will be a major component of the wider programme of events being planned to mark this milestone, as well as encouraging further reflection and work on increasing diversity and inclusivity in Oxford.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based\u00a0at the Faculty of History. 2019\u00a0staff round Project website: https:\/\/www.firstwomenatoxford.ox.ac.uk\/ For more information, please\u00a0contact\u00a0innovation@it.ox.ac.uk\u00a0.
