The Long 19th Amendment Project (Web)

The Long 19th Amendment Project Portal is an open-access digital portal that facilitates interdisciplinary, transnational scholarship and innovative teaching around the history of gender and voting rights in the United States.

The Long 19th Amendment Project is a joint project of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and The Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. The project supports fellowships and public programming centered on the 2020 centennial of the 19th Amendment with the aim of telling a more complete and inclusive story of women’s suffrage. The Library’s ambitious Long 19th Amendment Project will investigate the past, present, and future of women’s voting and the broader reconstruction of American citizenship in the post–Civil War era.

The Long 19th Amendment Project Portal is an open-access digital portal that facilitates interdisciplinary, transnational scholarship and innovative teaching about the on-going struggle of women in the United States to achieve the full rights of citizenship. The portal will aggregate suffrage collections from Schlesinger Library and from other repositories across Harvard University and the U.S. such as the Digital Public Library of America. The project will also include historical databases tracking women’s voting patterns in the United States.
