Emily Evans: 2023 Junior Fellows Program Display Day

About

As a Junior Fellow, Emily Evans spent her summer fellowship working onsite in the Manuscript Division. She provided reference services for patrons of the Manuscript Reading Room, and pulled Manuscript Division materials for researchers. She also answered reference questions online through Ask a Librarian. For Display Day, Emily created a LibGuide of Manuscript Division resources related to the history of reproductive health. The Manuscript Division holds over 73 million items in more than twelve-thousand collections related to American history; this includes the papers of Margaret Sanger, Gregory Pincus, and Min Chueh Chang, all who are major figures in the history of reproductive rights and the creation of the birth control pill. Emily highlighted less well-known figures and collections in order to create a more robust guide for navigating collections related to the history of reproductive health in the Manuscript Division. The LibGuide is a tool to navigate the history of birth control through legal, activist, and medical lenses. It includes general search tips and additional resources held at the Library of Congress. The guide is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather a starting point for researchers interested in the history of reproductive health. Once published, it will be available on the Manuscript Division website alongside other LibGuides.
