Women at the bargaining table
Project description
Women at the bargaining table is a digital repository of objects from Martha Attridge Bufton’s documentary film project Women at the bargaining table: white-collar unionization at Carleton University.
Sixteen types of objects are stored in an Omeka project and have been described using [#] of fields created using Dublin Core. The digital repository can be used to create digital exhibits of the project.
Background
Martha Attridge Bufton did an oral history of white-collar unionization at Carleton University from 1973 to 1976 for her master’s in history at Carleton. For her thesis, she conducted 25 interviews, most of which were filmed. She used this original research as the basis for a documentary short film project (2014-2018). She then collected items from this film project, which included audio files of interviews with individuals involved in making the documentary film, transcripts, images, and posters, and deposited them in an Omeka repository.
