The historical record of women's activism remains grossly deficient, especially in the case of Filipinas in the United States who have organized to incite reformation, integrity, equality, leadership and action globally and locally. GABRIELA Network (GABNet) has become one of the strongest voices speaking out against the struggles that Filipina and Filipina - Americans face. During the eighteen years of its existence, the organization has amassed a vast amount of unique materials that document the organization and its members. These materials are important not only to the members of GABNet, but to women, activists and academic researchers worldwide. Preserving the organizational memory of GABNet is critical to completing the historical record; an important pluralist tenant of archiving.
