INTRODUCTION
This is a guide to resources in the field of women's
studies which have been published in microform: microfilm,
microfiche, and microprint. An increasing amount of historical and
contemporary material for the study of women has been produced in
microfilm and is not available in other sources. Particularly
valuable are reproductions of manuscripts, technical papers, and
historical documents not widely distributed in their original form.
The guide represents only the holdings of the Library of
Congress, which are not all- inclusive in this area. Both collected
sets and some individual items are listed, including major
collections directly related to women's studies and selected other
collections of minor or tangential importance. In
the case of the large sets, this guide is especially helpful since
few of these are entered in the Library's catalogs either as sets
or by the individual titles contained within. The first four
sections of the guide are based on the holdings of the Microform
Reading Room in the Humanities and Social Sciences Division,
and the last section highlights resources available in other
divisions of the library.
Research materials in microform are an essential
component of the Library's support of women's studies. This guide,
together with the Division's general guide How to Find Sources of
Information on Women and Women's Issues in the Library of Congress
(1981), and the article "Resources for the Study of Women at the
Library of Congress," in Special Collections Vol. 3, no. 3/4
(Spring/Summer, 1986) should enable the Library's users to make the
most of the collections relevant to women's studies.
Full bibliographic data and call numbers have been cited
wherever possible. A double asterisk (**) following an entry
indicates that the item was on order or in the process of being
cataloged at the time of preparation of the guide.

II. MICROFORM COLLECTIONS WITH PORTIONS RELEVANT TO WOMEN'S STUDIES
This section notes collections containing materials by or
about women which can be explicitly identified through indexes or
guides. Although not intended as primary resources for such
studies, these collections include many valuable documents,
serials, books, and references pertinent to a wide range of women's
studies topics.
There are other potentially useful collections not
separately noted because they lack specific indexing or
bibliographic access to concepts related to women's studies. For
example, government reports and statistics, press and radio
broadcast transcripts, archival inventories, comprehensive
literature collections, records of associations and churches, and
the like. Researchers in women's studies should consult with
librarians about these sources.

Includes 821 newsletters, journals, and other periodicals from
1956 to 1974, although the bulk of the material is from the late
1960s on. Most are United States titles, but there are some
international inclusions; both feminist and mainstream women's
periodicals are represented. A two-volume guide is located at
Z7962.W672 1976 (MRR Ref Desk). This collection is a well-known
source for literature of the contemporary women's movement.
Periodicals on women and women's rights. -- Westport, Conn. :
Greenwood Publishing, [197-]-

titles. Some of the titles are still held by the Library of

supplements have appeared bringing the coverage up to 1978. A

Colwell (Z7164.S42 C64 not MRR). Following are a few of the more

V. MICROFORMS IN SPECIAL DIVISIONS
Microform materials are housed throughout the Library's
area studies and special collections divisions. The resources
highlighted below constitute major holdings, but not an exhaustive
list. Divisions such as the European Division, Prints & Photographs
Division, and the African & Middle Eastern Division also have
specialized catalogs and collections in microform of which portions
may be helpful for some aspects of women's studies. Researchers are
encouraged to consult with reference staff in specialized reading
rooms for information about microforms and policies for use and
reproduction. Microfilm produced by the Library of Congress is for
sale through the Photoduplication Service.
MANUSCRIPT DIVISION:
The Manuscript Division has filmed many of its
collections, and has purchased copies of manuscript collections
filmed by other repositories. This provides increased access and
distribution for rare and unique documents otherwise inaccessible
to many researchers. The Division owns the papers of many notable
women and women's organizations, and is particularly strong in
collections related to the nineteenth and early twentieth-century
suffrage movements. In addition to those major collections briefly
listed below, women's papers, letters, and diaries are frequently
found within larger collections of family papers and papers of
noted men. This is not a comprehensive list; researchers should
consult with the staff of the Manuscript Division for further
information. The ccession numbers are those used for requesting the
collection in the Manuscript Reading Room, and may change as new
portions are filmed. Dates are the span of the papers, not
necessarily birth and death dates.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DIVISION:
The Science and Technology Division maintains a
collection of over three million technical reports dating from 1940
to the present, mostly in microform. Although primarily in the
areas of science and engineering, many of these reports present
social science research with a statistical or experimental focus.
Within the latter category fall numerous reports related to women's
studies, covering such diverse topics as: health services for
women, occupational health, women-owned businesses, affirmative
action compliance among government contractors, women in
government and politics, married women's employment, women in
nontraditional jobs, housing and credit discrimination, rape and
battering, and all aspects of women in the armed forces. Some
reports have an international scope, for example women in Tanzanian
labor markets, the economic participation of women in Nepal, or the
status of Asian-American women. The collection is a significant
source for analyzing the history of science and technology in
America since 1940, and from this perspective can be used to study
the careers of women scientists; a large number of reports
from the World War II period show the involvement of women
scientists in wartime research.
The primary access tool for the collection is the
Government Reports Announcement and Index (GRA&I), which provides
author, title, agency, and numerical indexes. The subject index
uses keywords such as "Women" and "Females." There is also a
reference guide entitled "How to Find Technical Reports in the
Library of Congress," prepared by Kristin Vajs for the division in
1980, explaining the use of GRA&I and other indexes and
bibliographies listing technical reports.
Page 18
LAW LIBRARY:
Within the Law Library are large microform collections of
legal materials including Congressional reports, documents, and
bills; court briefs; law journals; foreign law gazettes; federal
regulations, and other similar works. While there are no special
collections or separate indexes related to women's issues, these
general resources are essential to tracing women's legal history
and status in the U.S. and abroad.
SERIAL & GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS DIVISION:
The Newspaper and Current Periodical Reading Room
houses extensive microfilm and microfiche collections of American
foreign newspapers, U.S. government publications, and United
Nations documents. Individual indexes exist for some documents and
newspapers which can help pinpoint articles related to women's
studies, but there are no special collections as such on this
topic.
