Custodial history
This corpus was gathered in the lead up to a publication in 2023 "Women’s Contribution to Science and Technology Through ICWES Conferences" by Monique Frize, Claire Deschênes and Ruby Heap, with the collaboration of Karine Laporte. Documents were collected by Frize, Deschênes and Heap in their capacity as members of INWES and by contacting other members. The proceedings and conference material were obtained from participants (the authors, Mahin Rahmani (Iran), Suriya Thevar (India), Issié Yvonne Gueye (Ivory Coast), the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and the Women Engineering Society’s (WES, UK). Some information contained in the book was not held in the database and other material may be found elsewhere in the Archives or within the collection.
