Women have been keepers of family history since before genealogy was a recognized field of study. The special collections at NEHGS contain a number of one-of-a-kind manuscript items created by women and about women--from compiled family papers to diaries and account books to samplers and more. Join Archivist Judy Lucey for a look at some of these important resources and become more familiar with the unique treasures waiting for you in the R. Stanton Avery Special Collections. Select items will be available for viewing.
