History is disappearing before our eyes. Government websites are being taken down, agencies dismantled, and decades of records erased at an alarming rate. Women and minorities, once recognized for their invaluable contributions, are now being systematically erased from digital archives, museums, and textbooks.
The Banned Women Project fights against this active erasure both in real-time and throughout history. Through research, digital preservation, and public engagement, we are exposing and restoring the contributions of women and minorities deliberately hidden or removed. This is not just about remembering history; it is about protecting the truth from being rewritten.
We need your help. Join us in archiving, sharing, and amplifying the voices of those being erased. Speak up. Take action. Ensure that these pioneers remain where they belong—in the history books, not in the shadows.
This project was born out of frustration, anger, and an unshakable sense of urgency. The sweeping changes introduced by the new U.S. presidential administration saw government websites, data, and agencies vanish overnight. Then, as if by design, women and minorities began disappearing from official records, websites, and museums—erased through executive orders, as if history itself was being rewritten.
Determined not to stand by in silence, thousands of people around the world have mobilized to archive and save erased government data. This project stands as an unwavering response to that erasure—dedicated to restoring the truth, honoring those whose contributions have been systematically hidden, and ensuring that history reflects reality, not political agendas.
