Online Databases: Four Searchable Databases About Women’s History and Position of Women in Society

These databases are provided by the Institute for Women's History (Aletta) located in Amsterdam. Content is in English, Dutch, or both languages.

Databases (All Free to Access and Search)

1. Mapping the World of Women’s information Service

For anyone looking for more information on the situation of women in a specific country, the Mapping the World of Women’s Information Services database is a good place to start. It contains addresses and information on more than 400 women’s information centers from around the world.

2. Websites on Women

The Websites on Women database contains 2,000 Web addresses of websites that deal with women’s issues

3. Articles

Since 1988, Aletta has maintained a catalog of articles on women’s rights and empowerment and women’s history. The catalog includes articles from Dutch and foreign periodicals and professional journals and currently contains thousands of titles – a growing number of which can be read directly online.

4. Photographs and Posters

The image archive at Aletta contains more than a hundred years of women’s history in the form of photographs and posters. The majority of the archive is available online and can be ordered in digital format.

Links to several other databases (primarily Dutch language content or only available to members) but still worth a search or two). Some material is available for purchase.
