Getty Research Institute Received Grant to Process WB Archives

The Getty Research Institute announced it was awarded a "Save America's Treasures" grant to process 11 collections related to the Woman's Building, the seminal Los Angeles-based center for feminist art that operated from 1973 to 1991. The $284,400 grant, administered by the National Park Service and the Institute of Museums and Library Services, will provide about half the budget for a two-year project of preserving, processing, and digitizing holdings already at the Institute. These include the Woman's Building records and videos, as well as archives of related collectives like the Feminist Art Workers, the Waitresses, and the Sisters for Survival, and the solo archives of artists Barbara T. Smith, Faith Wilding, and Nancy Buchanan.
