The database contains tens of thousands pages of books, pamphlets, and related materials—for example, The History of Woman Suffrage (six volumes, 1881-1922); the proceedings of the national conventions of women’s anti-slavery societies in the 1830s; the proceedings of woman’s rights conventions, 1848-1869; the proceedings of the annual conventions of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, 1874-1898; and publications of the League of Women Voters, 1920-2000.
