Welcome / Exhibit guest book

“A Fine and Long Tradition: Stories from the Contemporary Women’s Movement in Sonoma County” is funded by the California Council for the Humanities "California Stories Initiative" and is coordinated by Michelle Jolly, SSU Professor of History.

Jolly leads a discussion on Sept. 20 at noon in the library. A reception for the project will be held in the University Library Art Gallery on Sept. 20 from 5-6:30 p.m. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Over the past year, Jolly and her history students have been conducting interviews as part of the Sonoma County Women's Oral History Project. Their work contributes much to the exhibit which includes:

- a listening station where visitors can listen to excerpts from the interviews

- newspapers and ephemera from the women's movement in Sonoma County

- a series of timelines highlighting aspects of the women's movement in Sonoma County between 1960 and 1985

Visitors to the gallery or companion web site are invited to participate by commenting on topics as they appear on this blog or by commenting on this post, which serves as our our online guest book.
