History fuels our collective imagination and helps us envision the future. The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum is on a mission to expand the history of America by uncovering and sharing the role of women as they shaped our nation. With a future physical museum on the National Mall, new historical discoveries, digital experiences, and transformative educational programming, this museum will shine a light on the multidimensional ways that women from all corners of our country have built our American experience. Founding Director of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum, Elizabeth C. Babcock, Ph.D., will share her vision for designing and building a new museum on the National Mall, and discuss how digital strategies, community engagement, and data science can transform our understanding of women in American history.
