A comparative analysis of the organization and users’ services of three important European units of information and several virtual sites of other institutions on gender studied is offered. The analyzed units are the Centre of Documentation of the Woman’s Institute located in Madrid; the Library Francesca Bonnemaison and the Biblioteca Nazionale delle Donne-Centro di Documentazione delle Donne of Bologna, and, secondarily, the Centro di Documentazione delle Donne, the Archivio di Studi di Storia delle Donne (Firenze), The Fawcett Library (1926, London), the Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand (1931, Paris) and the International Informatiecentrum en Archief voor de Vrouwenbeweging (1935, Amsterdam). Each unit was analyzed concerning the number of sources offered, their classification system, organization and processing, and their automation infrastructures and processes. Their results were compared and their implication on the development of gender studies was evaluated
