Created in partnership with the Washington Women's History Consortium, this digital image collection contains recordings, transcripts and abstracts of oral history interviews documenting the history of women in Washington State.

These digital resources are drawn from three separate collections housed at the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies at Western Washington University: the Washington Women's Heritage Project records, the Bellingham Centennial Oral History Project, and the Women in the Commercial Fishing Industry Research Collection. In some cases, interview recordings or transcripts may have been edited to protect privacy. Original or unedited materials are housed at the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies.

The Center for Pacific Northwest Studies houses and collects a broad range of archival records documenting the history of the Pacific Northwest region. The Center is a partner in the Washington Women's History Consortium, an initiative to encourage access to records documenting women's experiences and achievements in Washington State. Using grant funds awarded by the Washington State Legislature, the Center has processed and made available several archival collections relating to women's history, and has digitized a number of images and oral history interviews for online display.
