Related Databases (LGBT+)
The following Gitenstein Library databases index scholarly journals in various disciplines related to LGBT+ history and literature.
- Contemporary Women's Issues This database brings together information about women in over 150 countries. Researchers might wish to select Gender Equity, Lesbian Studies, and/or Lesbians in the Subject Area box.
- Ethnic NewsWatch This database reveals reactions within various ethnic communities to the LGBT and Women's Rights movements over the last several decades. Its articles can be used as either secondary or primary sources depending on the researcher's purpose. From the homepage click on Advanced search. Choose Subject heading (all) from the drop-down menu. Subjects such as gays, lesbians, and homosexuality, when combined with a second search term, e.g. "queer theory", will retrieve highly relevant results.
- GenderWatchThe publications covered by GenderWatch focus on the impact of gender across a broad spectrum of disciplines including history. Like its companion database, Ethnic NewsWatch, it provides access to some primary source material (narrow results by Document type after running your search).
