A Family of Reformers: The Weld-Grimke Manuscript Collection
Cheney Schopieray, Tessa Wakefield
Angelina Grimké, her sister Sarah Grimké, and Angelina's husband Theodore Dwight Weld were renowned abolitionists who knitted together women's rights issues with anti-slavery advocacy beginning in the 1830s.
The William L. Clements Library acquired the papers of Theodore Weld and the Grimké sisters in 1939 and since then, they have been the largest collection of abolitionist papers on the University of Michigan campus. Please join Curator of Manuscripts Cheney J. Schopieray and University of Michigan School of Information graduate student Tessa Wakefield to discuss the Weld-Grimke manuscript collection and Wakefield's work to make these papers available for research
