The Connecticut History Illustrated (CHI) Women’s Suffrage featured topic brings together and provides an access point to selected resources from CTDA contributor organizations that pertain to the women’s suffrage movement in Connecticut, and the attainment of the vote in 1920. It includes links to public and organizational records, oral histories, photographs, newspaper articles and other artifacts from the post-Civil-War period through 1920, organized into format- and topic-based sub-collections. In addition to entire collections, such as the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association records, selected resources from those collections, such as photographs and letters, are also included in the relevant sub-collections. The creation of this collection is one element of the Connecticut Collections Alliance project funded by Connecticut Humanities, which seeks to make resources in Connecticut cultural heritage organizations more accessible, discoverable and usable for a wide range of audiences.
