The records relating to the South Carolina Mother of the Year award are housed at the Louise Pettus Archives and Special Collections at Winthrop University. In addition, oral history interviews were conducted with 15 living South Carolina Mother of the Year Award Winners, 6 family members, and 14 prominent members of the South Carolina Mother of the Year Award Selection Committee. The oral history project was conceived and executed by Dr. Jennifer Leigh Disney, Department Chair and Professor of Political Science and Director of the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Winthrop University and community partners and South Carolina Mothers Association President Martha Cranford and Treasurer Shirley Fishburne. The purpose of the South Carolina Mother of the Year Award Oral History Project is to document women’s experiences as mothers, leaders, and women in the state of South Carolina. The voices of these powerful, dynamic, strong, and devoted women need to be collected, heard, and preserved.
