Using KvinnSam in your research
KvinnSam is a unique resource in Sweden with library, archives, databases and other digital resources on gender research and women's history. We have expertise in metadata, women's and gender history, classification and cataloguing, archival science, and databases in gender research. We manage the KVINNSAM and Queerlit databases, which provide access to gender and women's research and queer themes in fiction, respectively. By using the databases, you can reduce the time it takes to compile literature lists on women's and gender research for, for example, a research application. At KvinnSam, we also have important expertise in systematic literature searches and we regularly work on systematic literature reviews linked to research projects and government investigations. KvinnSam also has large and unique archive collections that enable research into women's and gender history topics.
