Apparently, 650 just isn't enough. Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles announced last week that he hopes to increase the overall size of the Faculty over the next five years.
"What I hope is that when major renovations occur in the Houses in the second half of the next decade," Knowles said, "we shall be able to capture space--from basements and attics--as we did when we renovated the freshman dorms a few years ago."
"Everything will get more expensive, because women's papers are gaining in value," says Jane S. Knowles, acting director of the Schlesinger. "What we would have paid for a whole collection 20 years ago, we would pay for a single item today."
"We've been appealing to local scholars and independent scholars," Knowles says. "This will bring us to a national pool of scholars."
"I think [the exhibition] will absolutely blow everyone away when they see what the history of women in this area is," Knowles says. "You feel like someone in the Renaissance: you're uncovering a new area of study that has always been there but has always been somewhat hidden."
