Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture
Welcome to the Bingham Center
The Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture in Duke's Special Collection Library acquires, preserves and makes available to a large population of researchers published and unpublished materials that reflect the public and private lives of women, past and present.
Mary Lily Research Grants
The Bingham Center is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2008 Mary Lily Research Grants. These grants support students, faculty, and independent researchers who wish to travel to Duke to use our women's history collections. A list of past recipients and more information about this program can be found here.
Current Exhibits
The exhibit Stretching the Canvas: Women Explore the Arts is currently on display in the Old Perk Gallery in Perkins Library through May 2008. Highlights from this exhibit are featured in an online gallery. Pictures from Neither Model Nor Muse: a Symposium on Women and Artistic Expression, held on October 26-27, 2007, are now online.

Listen to Programs from Past Symposia
Selected programs from the 2003 symposium "Abortion: Research, Ethics, & Activism" and the 2005 symposium "Sisterhood, Riot Grrrl, and the Next Wave: Feminist Generations, Generating Feminisms" are now available through our website and as downloads from iTunesU. More details
My Life in Zines
The Bingham Center’s zine collections now have their own website and searchable database. Since Sarah Dyer's initial donation of over 1,000 zines, our collection has grown to almost 4,500 zines by women. In March 2008, we hosted a program called "My Life in Zines" with local zine writers and collectors who told stories about how writing and reading zines influenced their lives. Listen to an interview on The State of Things (WUNC radio) online.
