In its headquarters building on Capitol Hill,
the Society of Woman Geographers maintains a collection of more than 1200
books by and about its members, covering the great variety of SWG interests,
from anthropology to geography to zoology. An online catalog is being
developed. The library’s holdings do not circulate but are available, by
appointment, to serious researchers. Phone (202-546-9228) and e-mail (SWGHQ@verizon.net)
queries are welcome.
Archives
Periodically, records of former members of the
Society are transferred (by agreement) to the Library of Congress, where
they are available from the Manuscripts Division.
The archives of the Society’s oral history
program [click here] are available at its
headquarters for consultation by serious researchers, again, by appointment.
