Administrative Information

Provenance

The collection was donated to NYU's Fales Library and Special Collections by artist and Franklin Furnace founder Martha Wilson in 2010. Additional materials were donated in 2015; the accession number associated with this gift is 2015.274.

http://www.guerrillagirls.com/ was initially selected by curators and captured through the use of The California Digital Library's Web Archiving Service in 2007 as part of the Other Left Activism Web Archive. In 2015, these websites were migrated to Archive-It. Archive-It uses web crawling technology to capture websites at a scheduled time and displays only an archived copy, from the resulting WARC file, of the website. In 2017, crawling was discontinued in the Other Left Activism Web Archive and restarted in the Guerrilla Girls Web Archive. http://guerrillagirlsbroadband.com was initially captured in 2015 in the Guerrilla Girls Web Archive and continued in 2017 in the Guerrilla Girls Broadband Web Archive. In 2019, http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/ was added to the Guerrilla Girls Web Archive. The accession number associated with this seed is 2019.055. Indidivdual videos were added to better capture the videos embedded in http://www.guerrillagirls.com/. The accession number associated with the videos is 2019.061. In August 2021, https://www.themalegraze.com/ was added. The accession number asssociated with this website is 2022.011. In September 2021, https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1MZdTCzaBYXUxtvr9NqDW5yQbamkwsZhX&ll=53.04642406914769,0.153804424388424&z=7 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTMrLOz57uj4FTWDAHDhpfUQpy2grbpcSwfFApuhtJjMGUgy10yhs1VkmZuzOf9xPTZKHR4tvAAKXbk/pubhtml https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTzPxzXU73Y were added.

Processing Information

As part of processing, real names of members of the Guerrilla Girls were redacted to protect the anonymity on which the group relies. Redactions were made on photocopy facsimiles. In 2015, an addition was added to the collection, and incorporated into series V.B. (Postcards, Stickers, and Miscellaneous Graphic Works) and V.C. (Dimensional Works and Ephemera) in accordance with previous arrangement decisions, and due to their similar fomats and content.

In 2019 and 2022, the archived websites were added as Series VIII.
