Title: Catching the Wave : Photographs of the Women's Movement by Bettye Lane and Freda Leinwand

URL: http://catchingthewave.library.harvard.edu/

Collection: A-Sites: Archived Harvard Websites

Description: Among the treasures in the Schlesinger Library are photograph collections that document the women’s liberation movement of the late 1960s and 1970s: images by Bettye Lane and Freda Leinwand, both of whom spent years capturing the moments, both big and small, that made up one of the most transformative times in U.S. history. In 2014, the Schlesinger Library was awarded a Hidden Collections grant by the Harvard Library. The grant allowed the Library to select, catalog and digitize images that depict the women's movement, approximately 4,000 of the total 40,000 images, including prints, negatives and slides, in the two collections. Both collections came with donor-supplied metadata that was repurposed and transcribed to create the catalog records. This website acts as a curated view into these images. Collected by the Harvard University Archives as part of the records of the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America.
