Interview with Jason Stieber:
Director of the National Museum of Women in the Arts Library & Research Center

What better way to celebrate Women’s history month than listening to our latest Bert Gallery podcast on the Clara Database of Women Artists launched by the National Museum of Women in the Arts Museum (NMWA), located in Washington, DC. Celebrating their twentieth anniversary, NMWA (www.nmwa.org) has a remarkable archives dedicated to documenting the achievements of women artists. Recently, they were gifted an important collection of letters by Frida Kahlo.

Recently Catherine Bert interviewed Jason Stieber the Director of the NMWA Archives on the Clara Data base, a unique interactive database containing authoritative information on 18,000 women visual artists of all time periods and nationalities. The information in Clara is drawn from the materials in NMWA’s extensive Archives on Women Artists.

Both Clara and the Archives on Women Artists are works in progress. They are continually adding records for new artists and updating information on existing artists.
