The Palouse version of a Women’s March that took place in cities around the world last Saturday drew more than 2,500 people, according to the Lewiston Tribune. The Latah County Historical Society wants to document the march by collecting items for its archives.

Historical archives across the U.S. are collecting ephemera related to the marches, according to a news release from the society that is seeking posters, signs, pictures and local march participants interested in potentially being interviewed for an oral history.

Submissions can be sent or dropped off at 327 E. Second St., in Moscow. Digital submissions are welcome and electronic files can be sent to dkersting@latah.id.us. More information is available by contacting lchslibrary@latah.id.us or (208) 882-1004.
