Pacific Northwest Political Marches and Rallies
Introduction
This collection consists of images of marches, protests, rallies, and sign waving demonstrations that took place across the Pacific Northwest following the election of President Donald J. Trump. The predominance of events in this database took place in Seattle, but Spokane, Olympia, Portland, and other surrounding cities are also represented. More than 20 individuals have donated photographs and video to the collection.
This collection attempts to capture the diversity of political opinion expressed across the region. It was not possible to gather photographs from every political event, but a concerted effort was made to document a representative snapshot of public protest since January 2017.
The material touches on issue areas including climate change and the environment, health care and reproductive rights, immigration and refugee policies, discrimination, women's and LGBTQ people's rights, Black Lives Matter, U.S. foreign policy, and the presidency of Donald Trump.
All of the signs, clothing, buttons, and stickers in the images have been fully transcribed and are text searchable. We have also described signs that are primarily visual, making them text searchable as well. Organizations that were mentioned on signage can be searched. You can see a full list of those organizations under the tab below. Finally, we have assigned issue area tags to most images in the collection. You can view the list of issue area tags under the tab below.
Data and image management, research and descriptive metadata for the Pacific Northwest Political Marches and Rallies was completed by Special Collections staff and students including Kristin Kinsey (Digital Projects Coordinator), Arielle Lavigne, Krista Kolodziejski, and Kamalla L Bennett in 2019. The original collections are archived in the UW Libraries Special Collections.
