A Woman’s Place: How Women Shaped Pittsburgh

From pioneering investigative journalism to leading their country to Olympic gold, Western Pennsylvania women have made an immeasurable impact in America, but too often, their stories have been overlooked.

Projects:

  • Trips to University of Pittsburgh and Heinz History Center archives

  • Female Journalists

  • Debutante Balls

  • Jack & Jill

  • Image Clearances

  • Anne Pride and Pittsburgh Action Against Rape (PAAR)

  • Collections database with details of repositories, collection title, ID, date, and whether it’s in the HHC collections or not.

Here, creativity meets opportunity.
