The women's studies reference and research collection comprises print and non-print material and focused mainly on sexuality and gender studies, feminist theory, the history of mothers and marriage, and the history of feminist movements and women's rights throughout the world. The robust microform collection includes the Emma Goldman Papers, Gerritsen Collection of Women's History, Herstory, Records of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs (1895-1992), and Women's Studies Manuscript Collections from the Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe College. The Women's File, a grey literature and ephemera collection contains broadsides, clippings, newsletters, pamphlets, and reports, from the 1970s to the 1980s. The Blanche and Irving Laurie Music Library and Media Services, located in the Douglass Library, provide videos and sound recordings as well as viewing/listening devices.
