This page lists a few websites of relevant research resources or provides online access to original or digitized primary sources that can help in the teaching and research of feminist and gender studies in Latin America & the Caribbean. It includes two sections: the first one provides an overview of regional resources, organizations, and repositories, and the second one includes centers, archives, and organizations devoted to feminist and gender studies by country.​

The University of Illinois Library subscribes to many primary source databases pertinent to Latin American and the Caribbean. One of particular interest for feminism and gender studies is:

• Feminism in Cuba Digital Archive: This collection, compiled from Cuban sources, spans the period from Cuban independence to the end of the Batista regime. The collection sheds light on Cuban feminism, women in politics, literature by Cuban women and the legal status of Cuban women.

Additionally, you are encouraged to explore the resources at The Latin American and Caribbean Digital Primary Sources Database, built by the Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials (SALALM).
