Description: 

Rochester Voices is a project of the Local History & Genealogy Division of the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County. It is operated and administered by the Rochester Public Library.

This Theme focuses on women's rights, and the suffragettes in Rochester.

This interactive, mobile-friendly website is designed to engage a K-12 audience, as well as the general public, in the study of local, state, national, and even global history, by allowing users to explore the stories of Rochesterians who experienced the past first-hand. Combining the features of an online special collections catalog and interpreted digital exhibits with those of an exploratory learning laboratory, this site enables diverse users to interact with unique historical materials in a variety of exciting new ways.

The original letters, diaries, interviews, and other primary sources that make up Rochester Voices’ digital collections are held in the Local History & Genealogy Division’s special collections and those of its partners.

This project was made possible through the generous support of the Gleason Family Foundation.
