The Feminist Institute x Global Fund for Women
Learn more about The Feminist Institute's preservation of the International Museum of Women through our partnership with Global Fund for Women in our two-part blog series.
The Feminist Institute is excited to share our two-part blog series with our readers about our collaborative partnership with Global Fund for Women and the preservation of the International Museum of Women (IMOW). The series covers the vital legacy of IMOW, the history of IMOW’s digital exhibitions, and our feminist approach to sunsetting this born-digital initiative.
In Part 1, The Evolution of the International Museum of Women, we trace the evolution of IMOW from its inception to becoming a space that inspired creativity, awareness, and action on vital global gender justice issues. Utilizing web archiving technology and migrating exhibition media in obsolete file formats, the TFI staff captured the most recent iterations of the IMOW digital exhibitions and made them available in the TFI Digital Archive.
In Part 2, Preserving the International Museum of Women, we dive deeper into discussing TFI’s approach to capturing this born-digital resource and considerations to take when preserving digital projects that have reached obsolescence.
