ABSTRACT Libraries are integral in relating current times to past events through their robust collections. One important tool used for collection development is the topical, annotated bibliography vetted by experts in the field. The centennial anniversaries of the Nineteenth Amendment provide an opportunity to strengthen existing collections for circulating and instructional items. An annotated bibliography of materials on women’s suffrage and the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment will be a useful tool for collection development in libraries. The authors are recipients of the 2018 Carnegie Whitney Grant administered by the American Library Association, which provided funding for the creation of the bibliography on the Nineteenth Amendment. This article discusses the research process for locating items for inclusion and how the vetted print and non-print materials can contribute to collection development, program planning, and curriculum enhancement.
