The centennial anniversaries of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 2019 and the ratification of the amendment in 2020 will create strong interest in school and public libraries to strengthening their collections on the subject. This annotated bibliography of materials on women’s suffrage and the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment will be a useful tool for collection development of circulating materials for public and school libraries. The bibliography will focus on popular fiction and non-fiction works and K-12 curricular materials. It will not include academic scholarly works unless they also are appropriate for the identified audiences.
This bibliography was funded through a Carnegie-Whitney Grant -
The Carnegie-Whitney Grant provides an award that is based on a special fund first established by Andrew Carnegie in 1902, “the income of which is to be applied to the preparation and publication of such reading lists, indexes and other bibliographical and library aids as will be especially useful in the circulating libraries of this country.” The Carnegie Fund was subsequently enhanced by a merger with a fund established by James Lyman Whitney in 1910. The Publishing Committee, a standing committee of the American Library Association, administers the grant.
The Carnegie-Whitney Grant provides grants for the preparation of popular or scholarly reading lists, webliographies, indexes and other guides to library resources that will be useful to users of all types of libraries in the United States.
