'''Anke Voss-Hubbard''' is a [[United States of America|US]] [[archivist]], writer and feminist.
She became a feminist while studying to be an archivist, and wrote the article "No Documents-No History" for the [[American Archivist]] in 1995. In it, she describes the journey of [[Mary Ritter Beard]] and attempts to found a "World Center for Women's Archives". In her struggle to prove that women's place in history was of equal importance to men's, Beard argued that documentary evidence can support claims that women were instrumental in all facets of society and not just peace movements. This view caused somewhat of an upheaval in the Suffragette movement at the time, which focused on women's peacekeeping role, and the WCWA folded in 1940. Undaunted, Beard set about finding homes for the collected archives and concentrated on Smith and Radcliffe archival initiatives, and thanks to [[Margaret Storrs Grierson]], Smith now has the [[Sophia Smith Collection]]. In conclusion, Voss-Hubbard remarked that the formation of archives often rests with non-archivists and in the words of Beard, that the "stimulation of interest" is possibly the greatest achievement.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2wzSjrj "No Documents—No History": Mary Ritter Beard and the Early History of Women's Archives], by Anke Voss-Hubbard, American Archivist, 1995</ref>
After writing her influencial article, Voss-Hubbard went on to become a digital collections specialist and was instrumental in making the [[Margaret Sanger]] papers accessible, as well as other documents regarding birth control and other subjects from the Sophia Smith Collection and other archives. She currently works at the Urbana Free Library.
