Get Started

In 2018-2019, the Radcliffe Institute held a conference and a series of lectures and events on the topic of citizenship.  As noted in the conference materials, citizenship "means more than just formal membership in nation-states; it means belonging in communities..."  Gathered in this research guide are some collections that relate to citizenship.

The Schlesinger Library's Immigration, Equal Rights Amendment, LGBTQ, and Women's Suffrage research guides may also be of interest.
