WHOM
WHOM was an organization of professional
historians and archivists that existed to promote both the study of the
history of women and the interests of women in all fields of history.
Among other things, the Minnesota-based WHOM published a newsletter,
sponsored panels and receptions at regional conferences, and awarded
prizes for the best women’s history projects in Minnesota and North
Dakota state History Day competitions. The organization began with
potluck meetings in members’ homes and grew to a network of women
historians and historians of women. In 2001 WHOM morphed into WGHOM
(Women’s and Gender Historians of the Midwest), with a new group of
organizers, but with many of the same goals. The WHOM collection at
Monmouth College contains the official archives of WHOM. It will be
augmented with documents from WGHOM. Donations, especially
recollections of any sort, are encouraged! Please contact Stacy A.
