ViVa Women's History
Database
ViVa is a current bibliography of women's and gender history. Articles
published in English, French, German and Dutch are selected from more
than hundred European, American and Indian academic journals. The ViVa
database now contains bibliographic records describing more then 5400
articles published between 1975 and 2000.
The bibliography was started in 1990 by Els Kloek as a special project
at the History Department of the University of Utrecht, Netherlands. By
selecting and indexing women's history articles from fifty West European
and American scholarly journals, Kloek and her assistants intended to
create a reference tool for locating publications in this field, and to
provide an overview of the development in writing women's history. It
was published in three printed volumes, together covering the years 1975-1994.
After 1995, the project was continued by the International Institute of
Social History. The bibliography, now named ViVa, was first published
on the World Wide Web in 1997. Since then, another sixty journals have
been indexed retrospectively, and new titles have been added to the Web
version on an ongoing basis. The complete bibliography is now accessible
from the WWW.
ViVa is compiled by Jenneke Quast, International Institute of Social History
(IISH), Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with the assistance of Ron Berkepeis,
IISH, Margaret Tennant, of Massey University (New Zealand), and Diane
Hawkins, of SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY (USA).
The Committee on Lesbian and Gay
History
Thanks to the generous provision of space by Walter Williams and ONE/IGLA,
and to the hard work of designer Randy Riddle and manager Todd White,
I'm pleased to announce the inauguration of The Committee on Lesbian and
Gay History website. The site includes information on CLGH activities,
CLGH membership, the CLGH email announcements list, the 2001 American
Historical Association/CLGH program, CLGH prizes, the CLGH newsletter,
the CLGH directory, and lgbtq history syllabi, dissertations, and internet
links. Some of the pages are under construction and some await future
decisions by CLGH, but the site is up and running, and it looks great.
