By arranging images, text, and other significant materials on the page, scrapbookers were engaging in a small-scale curation of their contemporary world. \u201c[Scrapbooks] reflect what was important to their creators and what they thought was important to preserve,\u201d says Sterling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sterling likes to draw visitors\u2019 attention to the Archery Club scrapbook, which offers a rare look at a coeducational sport during the 1940s. In its pages, men and women compete against one another, practice together, and belong to the same team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long before Title IX began to address inequality in university athletics, members of women\u2019s teams were already at work documenting their own stories. Women\u2019s club sports like fencing had particularly comprehensive scrapbooks, which Sterling says has helped to keep their memories alive. \u201cThe histories we are able to tell about early women\u2019s sports at Iowa are largely due to the detailed documentation the association and their clubs maintained, and the Iowa Women\u2019s Archives\u2019 (IWA) careful preservation of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Taking a page out of their book<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna Holland, associate curator for the IWA, hopes that today\u2019s students will take inspiration from the scrapbooks of the past, even if their curation takes a different (likely digital) form. \u201cI hope that current students will move with intention to save what matters to them so we will all have it to look back on in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Dr. Jennifer Sterling set out to create the fall 2024 Main Library Gallery exhibit, Hawkeye Histories | Sporting Stories, she chose to include a handful of scrapbooks from the Iowa Women\u2019s Archives and the University Archives at the University of Iowa Libraries.
