What is WAAND?
WAAND is an online directory to U.S. archival collections of primary source materials by and about women visual artists and women’s arts organizations active in the U.S. at any time from January 1, 1945, to the present. WAAND directs users to standardized information about archival collections to support research, comparative analysis, holdings assessment, and collaborative initiatives. WAAND was conceived as a means to build a virtual and actual community of interest in contemporary women artists and to inspire the preservation of their papers and records. WAAND’s initial development (2005-06) was funded by a grant from The Getty.
