Nieuwe Instituut created Herstories, an oral history project to fill the gaps in the Vrouwen Bouwen Wonen archive. This archive documents the emergence and development of feminist architectural history in the Netherlands by focusing on the contributions of six influential women whose work spans the 20th century. Herstories places their experiences in the context of second-wave feminism in Dutch academia and highlights the unique historical and geographical influences of feminism on architecture. It does so by integrating the histories of “forgotten” women into the Dutch architectural canon.
