The
Archives of Women in Science and Engineering (WISE Archives) documents and preserves the historical heritage of American women in science and engineering. The collection includes the personal and professional papers of women scientists and engineers, except that of the medical sciences, as well as records of national and regional women's organizations in these fields. While the collections include the papers of Iowa State alumni and faculty, its georgraphical boundaries span the United States and may go beyond to include American women working abroad. The WISE Archives currently contains over 100 collections belonging to women scientists or their organizations.
At this time, only the oral histories from the
Dreyfus Foundation Oral History Project are being added to the digital collection. These include interviews with women in chemistry and chemical engineering. Aproximately 55 interviews will be added over time. Transcripts of other interviews are available
here.
A note to our patrons: If you would like to view the transcripts while listening to the audio, please open the PDF first then launch the audio.
