Lucretia Coffin Mott Papers Project

The Lucretia Coffin Mott Papers Project at Pomona College is a digital undertaking dedicated to preserving and sharing the writings of Lucretia Coffin Mott (1793–1880), a renowned Quaker abolitionist, suffragist, and social reformer. The project seeks to gather existing letters, diaries, and correspondence between Mott, her husband, and key figures of the reform era. It aims to create a searchable digital database that includes primary sources demonstrating Mott’s extensive engagement with abolition, women’s rights, peace, education, and prison reform. The archive provides critical material for scholars exploring intersectional reform movements, Quaker activism, and women’s intellectual histories in the 19th century.
