Opening the Information Vault: Preserving, Digitizing, and Funding the International Women’s History Periodical Archive Introduction from Ken Weyerbacher: I was honored to have as one of my co-panelists at Bryn Mawr College’s “Women’s History in the Digital World 2015” conference the most important feminist archivist of the sixties and seventies as well as the founder of Women’s History Month and so much more: Laura X. In her talk, which appears here in this guest blog, edited for publication, Laura talks about the rediscovery of International Women’s Day, which then led to the creation of the central archive of the Women’s movement from 1968 to 1974, and the founding of both Women’s History Month in 1969 and the Women’s History Library.
