Finding Local Women’s History Resources at the Library of Congress

03/12/2026 11:00 AM EDT

March, Women’s History Month, is a perfect time for students to explore Library of Congress collections for information about women in their own local and family history, as well as about women who achieved national recognition. For inspiration, browse a recently digitized resource for finding female ancestors in Minnesota. While the item itself makes interesting reading, it might also serve as a model for students to identify and learn about women in their own communities.
