African American Women's Dress in Georgia, 1890-1914 A Photographic Examination
Abstract
This study examines the types of clothing worn by African American women living in the state of Georgia between 1890 and 1914. The researchers used historical photographs as primary sources to document clothing. The photographs are located in three collections: Spelman College, Atlanta University, and the Georgia Department of Archives and History. The clothing in each photograph was recorded and compared to styles of clothing advertised in national magazines of the period corresponding to the date of the photograph. Analysis revealed that (a) African American women in Georgia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries wore clothing similar in style to fashions advertised and illustrated in magazines and newspapers of the period, and (b) some items of dress were distinctive, that is, not illustrated in national periodicals of the time.

“Research on historic photographs (Brubacher, 2002;Hunt & Sibley, 1994;Hunt, 1994;Foster, 1997) and mortuary archaeology case studies (Owens, 2000;Davidson & Mainfort, 2008;McCarthy, 1997;Armstrong & Fleischman, 2003;Blakey, 2001) has been able to better classify artifacts as resonating with more masculine or feminine clothing during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries-a period marked by gender”

In the citing paper
“Returning to the 1895 image (Figure 1), all tasks both agricultural and domestic were conducted in clothing that aligned with traditional masculine and feminine gender roles regardless of the labor in which people were involved (Sharpless, 1999:160-161;Hunt & Sibley, 1994: 20-26;Brubacher, 2002: 29-43).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
