Library finds the stories of women' Allison Oligschlaeger STAFF WRITER The Marriott Library is trying to correct imbalances in Utah's history. "We don't have the stories of interesting women," said library public relations specialist Heidi Brett. "We have plenty of papers and documentation from men in this area, but we need to capture the stories of women." This month, the library opened the Aileen H. Clyde 2oth Century Women's Legacy Archive. The archive contains oral histories, manuscripts, diary entries and other documents from influential Utah women of the last century. These women were politicians, business owners, community and religious leaders and academics — anyone who has inspired positive social or political change. The library spent almost one year building the archives before opening them to the public. The time was spent pulling from other library collections and collecting new oral histories. Brett said that even though the archives are now open, collection efforts are not finished. "There are going to be women doing remarkable things every day," she said. "These archives are an See WOMEN ARCHIVES page 3 U class documents community voices Karriann Johnson STAFF WRITER Craig Wirth wants to bring those "who are in the shadows" into the light through documentaries. Wirth, co-creator and a professor of "Humanities in Focus," explained his purpose to an audience of nearly 45 people at the Donna Garff Marriott Honors Residential Scholars Community on Monday night. Humanities in Focus is a class at the U focused on helping students share their lives through making documentary films. Wirth said he and Jeff Metcalf, co-creator and director of Humanities in Focus, started this program with "no idea" what was going to come of it. Metcalf said the class originally started watching documentaries, and it just seemed like a "logical step" for the students to make documentaries as well. They just had to get the funding. The Honors College has contributed funds, support and students to help with the making of these documentaries. Wirth said they would not be starting their eighth year of the class if it were not for those contributions. "We have formed a wonderful partnership," Metcalf said. "What's great about the Honors College is they get the program." The classroom in the Marriott Honors Community on Monday was full of people who came to watch some of the documentaries the students had already finished. Alexis Ulrich, a senior in English and international studies, is currently taking Metcalf's playwriting construction class.
