With the celebration of 50 years of Title IX in 2022, a group of Cal Women's Crew Alumnae along with Cal alumni, coaches, faculty, staff, and students were inspired to create a living archive for the History of Cal Women's Rowing. This effort is also part of the Celebration of 150 Years of Women at Berkeley. There is such a rich history of extraordinary women coming through the program and our goal is to capture the shared history, spirit, and team culture that continues to grow and produce strong female leaders. The archive will continue to document the program from its inception to the present day.
