Archiving Workshop: Herstory 101

SESSION 2: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 16 @11:00 AM

Two Talks.

One Purpose.

Elevating Women in History.

Over two unforgettable days, Dr. Bonnie J Morris will illuminate women’s remarkable contributions to culture and confront the ways their voices have too often been erased. Through her dynamic talks Bonnie invites us to celebrate, preserve, and amplify the stories of women whose lives shaped our collective history.

This participatory session explores how women’s lives, artifacts, and memories can be preserved for future generations. Whether you’re an artist, writer, or community organizer, this workshop will help you see yourself as a steward of women’s history.

This workshop will explore how stories are preserved, shared, and remembered. Together we’ll ask: What do we save? What do we give? How do we honor our collective history? Bonnie will invite participants to consider how memorabilia and personal archives can find a home, ensuring that women’s voices are not lost, but carried forward for future generations.

Dr. Morris is a professor of women’s history and the author of nineteen books exploring women’s lives, culture, and legacies. With a Ph.D. from Binghamton University, she has taught at Harvard Divinity School, George Washington University, Georgetown University, and currently lectures at UC Berkeley. Her award-winning works—including Eden Built by Eves, Revenge of the Women’s Studies Professor, and Women’s History for Beginners—celebrate women’s voices across history. A lifelong diarist and storyteller, Dr. Morris has been a global lecturer for Olivia Cruises and Semester at Sea and a consultant for Disney Animation, the Global Women’s Institute, and the U.S. State Department.A dynamic talk and community gathering with Bonnie J Morris
