"Luminarium is the labor of love of Anniina Jokinen . . . For all materials, authorities in a given subject are consulted. The Norton Anthology of English Literature, The Encyclopaedia Britannica, and The Cambridge Guide to Literature in English are some of the general reference works consulted for accuracy of dates and details. Many of the materials collected here reside elsewhere. Quality and accuracy are concerns, and all materials are checked regularly. However, "Luminarium" cannot be held responsible for materials residing on other sites. Corrections and suggestions for improvements are encouraged from the visitors."

This directory lists archives that provide primary sources in women's studies. It was compiled under the auspices of the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL).
"The purpose of Women's Studies in Digital Archives is to provide access to primary source materials for women's studies within digital archives. Although not comprehensive, it is a starting point for discovering some of the wonderful resources for women's studies that have only recently become widely available with the practice of digitizing select primary source materials from special collections.
Each archive . . . has been reviewed by a member of the Women's Studies Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries. Reviews include a brief description of the archive, tips for searching, and a description of the women's studies content, including a list of subjects and a list of primary source types. One can go to the archive either from this page or from within the review." -
