WERC is Canada's largest feminist documentation centre and specialized women's studies collection: a circulating library covering the humanities, social sciences, the arts as well as issue oriented publications; international reference journals, periodicals and popular publications emerging from women's studies programmes and feminist movements around the world.

The Centre's collection contains a wide range of practical and theoretical curricular and pedagogical resources: non-sexist classroom guides, student and teacher kits for all educational levels and subjects. 

The Centre also maintains audio and video tapes, Canadian archival photographs and original documents of the women's movement. 

Our collection includes a sizeable French component of Canadian and European resources. Limited materials are available in other languages: Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Swedish.
