About
The Women Artists Archives National Directory (WAAND) is an online directory to U.S. archival collections of primary source materials by and about women visual artists and women’s arts organizations in the U.S. from January 1, 1945, to present day. WAAND consists of three linked databases: a Repository Directory, Collections, and an Entity (artist or artists’ organization) Database. The Repository Directory is a database of organizations; it includes name, location, contact information, services provided, audiences served, and access policies for each organization. The Collections Database, the heart of the directory, describes the primary source material on a particular woman artist or artists’ organization that is held by a particular repository. The Entity Database includes entries for artist organizations and collectives such as artist publications, alternative spaces, and artists’ communities.
WAAND’s principal investigators are Dr. Ferris Olin, head of the Margery Somers Foster Center and curator of the Mary H. Dana Women Artist Series at the Mabel Smith Douglass Library, RUL, and Judith K. Brodsky, Rutgers distinguished professor emerita in the Department of Visual Arts and founding director of the Brodsky Center for Print, Mason Gross School of the Arts.

Johnson, project manager for the Moving Image Collections (MIC) and visiting scholar at Rutgers, are WAAND’s digital architects. Nicole Plett is project manager….(Read more)
