19th Amendment Centennial on Social Media
Featured 19th Amendment Campaigns:
#19SuffrageStories: Follow along on Twitter and Instagram as we join the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution to tell #19SuffrageStories through objects in our collections. Every weekday from August 3 - 26, we’ll share countdown graphics emphasizing diverse and lesser-known figures in the long struggle for voting rights. Check out the @USNationalArchives Giphy channel for accompanying animated gifs and visit the Pieces of History blog to learn more about the campaign.
Rightfully Hers Instagram Takeover: Starting on Wednesdays in August, Corinne Porter, curator of "Rightfully Hers: American Women and the Vote," the National Archives' special exhibition to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, will be taking over the @USNatArchives Instagram account. She will be sharing some of her favorite women's suffrage stories and a few behind-the-scenes looks at the exhibit; you can follow along with the #RightfullyHers hashtag in Instagram stories and posts.

Commemorative Calendar for the 19th Amendment: It’s not too late to download your own Centennial commemoration calendar. Join us throughout 2020 as we commemorate this centennial year with 12 stories from our holdings. Each month, we’ll share a new collection of downloadable designs including a calendar page, Facebook cover photo, and an occasional mobile device lock screen. You can save and print these designs, set them as wallpaper, whatever works for you!
