Series Scope and Content Summary

From the Series:

Materials in this series include posters, elevation drawings, architectural drawings, artistic museum drawings, and exhibit mock-ups. The series contains architectural and artistic drawings from the project to build a museum at Pier 26 in San Francisco. The architectural drawings, which include elevation drawings, were produced by the architectural team of Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects, who were working in association with Ai+Architecture. Other drawings in this series show an artistic vision of the museum building and interior.

This series contains posters for Women's Heritage Museum/International Museum of Women (W.H.M./I.M.O.W.) exhibits, including the California Woman Suffrage 1870-1911, Women of the World, and Celebrating Women exhibits. Some of these artifacts are printed on posterboard and appear to have been used for exhibit displays. One poster from the California Woman Suffrage 1870-1911 exhibit includes text which notes that it was displayed at the main lobby of the War Memorial Building in 1995. The collection also includes an undated war poster published by the National Woman Suffrage Publishing Company.
