The Susan B Anthony House Inc.

“In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america and the practice followed by many museums, the organization has elected not to include objects purchased or donated to the permanent collection in the balance sheet. It is impractical to determine a value for the permanent collection, as many items are irreplaceable. Objects comprising the organization's permanent collection include the house susan b. Anthony lived in from 1866 to 1906 (a national historic landmark), photographs, memorabilia, original furniture, textiles, and other historical treasures and artifacts. Certain items, such as rare or original photographs, manuscripts, and documents are on deposit with the rare books division of the river campus libraries at the university of rochester, assuring their care and making them available to scholars. Many items in the collection are one-of-a-kind personal items related to the life and work of susan b. Anthony, and are often requested for loan to other institutions. A marble bust of anthony is on permanent loan to the monroe county hall of justice. In fiscal year 2017, the museum collaborated with nineteen different organizations to plan and organize a variety of events, programs, and exhibits to celebrate new york state's suffrage centennial. The president & ceo of the museum is a member of the new york state suffrage centennial commission through 2020 when the centennial of the passage of the 19th amendment will be celebrated. The museum made its collection available for research and loans for the suffrage centennial. More than a dozen artifacts, including susan b. Anthony's alligator purse, will be featured in the new york museum's exhibit that will open in albany, ny, in november 2017. Photographs and information about these artifacts will be included in the printed catalogue for the exhibit that will be available to the public for purchase. The museum was a partner with the rochester area suffrage centennial alliance (rasca), a collaboration that organized "because of women like her," an exhibit on woman's suffrage installed at the rochester public library, rundel building, from june - mid-october, 2017. Susan b. Anthony's black velvet cloak will be on display. Many suffrage centennial activities will continue through the balance of the calendar year and into calendar year 2018. Most of the planning for votetilla, a weeklong celebration featuring re-enactors traveling on the new york canals from seneca falls to rochester over five days on packet boats, was completed in fy 2017. The program was implemented in summer 2017. In the year ended may 31, 2017, the museum partnered with the graduate program in history at arizona state university to secure a grant to scan and digitize the martha taylor howard letters in the archives. Professor eric nystrom, trustee, was key to this initiative. Three feet (2 1/2 boxes) of documents were professionally scanned, and students from the graduate program are accessing the digitally to index and catalogue them under the supervision of graduate faculty. The museum had a custom costume case built for susan b. Anthony's velvet cloak with funds from the brooks-gribbroek historical costume fund. This case provides protection from ultra-violet light and fluctuations in humidity. It may be used to display a variety of objects in the future. The museum has initiated the 2020 quilt project to celebrate the centennial of the passage of the 19th amendment in 2020. The quilt is comprised of 20" x 20" blocks created by members of the general public to recognize a person, place, or event related to the woman suffrage movement or to "unfinished business" in the women's movement. The museum is collecting, cataloging, and sharing the blocks with organizations, libraries, and schools. Seventy-four blocks have been received to date.
