Abstract

The creation of a digital exhibit ends in a final product, but there are many more outcomes than what can be seen by simply experiencing the exhibit. The work that goes on between group members and their partners is often overlooked, but is sometimes the most important outcome of a project for those who were a part of it. The project that resulted in the exhibit: Fight, Fight, Fight! Anti-authoritarianism in second-wave feminist movements in Edmonton, Alberta as reflected in artifacts from the Karen Rowswell collection at the City of Edmonton Archives, was undertaken by three students for the course GSJ (Gender and Social Justice) 598/DH (Digital Humanities) 530 taught by Professor Deb Verhoeven. A subset of the project group collaborated on the Forum For Information Professionals (FIP) Conference presentation. We found that besides the exhibit itself, the results of this project were also found in the relationships and processes that we built. The digital exhibit can be viewed here: https://omekaprojects.artsrn.ualberta.ca/coea_ms-1210karenrowswell/s/FeminismAndAuthority.
