The Library Company is pleased to announce the pilot website for “In Her Own Right: Women Asserting Their Civil Rights, 1820-1920”, including the Library Company’s Cassey and Dickerson albums, is now live. A pilot project executed by members of the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL), with funding from the National Endowment of the Humanities, the site showcases Philadelphia-area collections highlighting women’s struggle leading to the passage of the 19th Amendment.

Last Thursday, Digital Outreach Librarians, Arielle Middleman and Concetta Barbera attended a Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL) workshop on “How to Make Animated Gifs”. Lead by University of Pennsylvania’s and Gif Magician, Laura Aydelotte, we learned the inside scoop on bringing our collections to life on screen. Our recent #caturday is a result of our new skills. Speaking of scoops, #pacsclsocial ice cream social anyone?
