Alexander Street Press today announced that it will collaborate with The Center for Women’s History at SUNY Binghamton to create a new website dedicated to the study of women and social movements. The new Web site will be built around the existing, award-winning Women and Social Movements Web site, created and directed by Thomas Dublin and Kathryn Kish Sklar.

“Much of the existing free site will remain freely available. Through our new partnership with Alexander Street, we’re able to add 25,000 pages of proprietary material immediately and then grow the project year by year,” said Dublin. “Our thirteen-person editorial board of scholars from across the country will assist us in creating new document projects and in selecting additional primary sources for the site. We’re looking forward to working with Alexander Street to achieve this.”

Stephen Rhind-Tutt, president of Alexander Street said, “Professors Dublin and Sklar have created a magnificent project that is one of the most frequently visited women’s studies sites on the Web. It’s a pleasure to be working with them to expand the project further.”

Women and Social Movements currently contains approximately 1,000 primary documents together with more than 35 documentary essays, lesson plans, and related material. Beginning in September, the new, jointly produced site will contain more than 22,000 pages of primary documents, together with a comprehensive bibliography, new documentary essays, and related material. The expanded project will use Alexander Street’s Semantic Indexing to enhance access and searching – by subject, place, date, author and numerous other fields.
