Resources for gender studies are many and varied because of the nature of the discipline. We collect materials for family and marital issues, gay and lesbian rights, health aspects, feminism, and contraception. The Dr. Richard Travers Collection contains many of the medical sources. Additionally there are the Goller and Fairfield collections containing strong holdings for the research of AIDS in Australia.
