Many historic sites throughout the nation have rich resources in women's history and opportunities to interpret that history but are under-utilized for public educational purposes. A limited number have been recognized for that history, but many other sites deemed nationally significant do not address the stories of the women who lived, struggled, or worked there.
Have you been impressed by programming at a historic site that reveals what are often the hidden stories of women?
Please let us know!
The National Collaborative for Women's History Sites and the National Park Service want to help landmarks uncover the lives of the women in their histories. We are developing a "best-practices" model based on case studies of sites that have incorporated women's history into their programming. Upon completion, the NCWHS and NPS will make the development model available to historic sites nationally and internationally through hard copy and web-based products.
Nominate a site as a case study by filling out an online survey:

By completing the survey, that site may be selected to be interviewed and highlighted in the best-practices publication! If you have any questions, please contact Catherine Turton at (215) 597-1726 or catherine_turton@nps.gov.
