史密森尼美国艺术档案馆近日完成一批口述史的数字化:89位美国女性艺术家、艺术史家、赞助人与收藏家的访谈誊本已由模拟录音转成数字档案上线,其中一些受访者当年只以丈夫的姓名被记录,这次首次以自己的全名出现在档案中。
这批口述史由「美国女性历史倡议」基金池资助整理,新上线的誊本配有可检索的主题标签与受访者生平信息,方便研究者与公众查阅。入选访谈包括画家 Lois Dodd 1988年的访谈、艺术家 Dorothea Tanning 1990年的访谈,以及收藏家 Emily Tremaine 1973年的访谈,时间跨度数十年,记录了她们参与塑造美国艺术的经历。
美国艺术档案馆口述史档案员 Jennifer Snyder 表示,这批材料让许多长期被忽略的女性创作者与推动者重新被看见。整理期间,实习生 Gaby Stephenson 还同步更新了这89人在 Wikidata 上的条目信息。美国艺术档案馆隶属史密森尼学会,是研究美国艺术史的一手史料库,收藏艺术家书信、照片与访谈录音等资料,供全球研究者查阅。

Smithsonian Digitizes Oral Histories of 89 Women Who Shaped American Art
The Smithsonian's Archives of American Art has newly digitized a collection of oral histories: transcripts of interviews with 89 American women artists, art historians, patrons and collectors have been converted from analog recordings and published online. Some of the interviewees were originally recorded under their husbands' names only; the digitized transcripts restore their own full names to the archival record for the first time.
The project was funded by the American Women's History Initiative Pool, and the newly released transcripts carry searchable subject tags and biographical information for each interviewee. The set spans decades and includes painter Lois Dodd's 1988 interview, artist Dorothea Tanning's 1990 interview and collector Emily Tremaine's 1973 interview, documenting how these women helped shape American art.
Jennifer Snyder, an oral history archivist at the Archives of American Art, said the materials bring renewed visibility to women creators and champions who were long overlooked. During the project, intern Gaby Stephenson also updated the Wikidata entries for all 89 women. The Archives of American Art, part of the Smithsonian Institution, is a primary-source repository for American art history, holding artists' letters, photographs and recorded interviews for researchers worldwide.
