A new exhibit, Leagues of Their Own: Selections from the Carey Shuart Women's Research Collection Representing 60 Years of Women's Athletic Achievements, will open on Friday, September 6 and be on display through May 31, 2025, on MD Anderson Library Floor 1.

Vince Lee, archivist for the Carey Shuart Women’s Research Collection, curated items representing the Stephen F. Austin Scottish Brigade, which, founded in 1937, promoted scholarship, discipline, respect, leadership, social skills, and fitness at a time when girls’ sports teams were rare or nonexistent. James Burke, PhD student in US History, selected items from the Houston Comets Memorabilia Collection. The Comets, founded in 1997, set the standard for excellence in the early years of the WNBA and paved the way for future generations of players.
