A unique database
The GaW database has been specifically developed for the Gender and Work research project. It is built according to the 'verb-oriented method', meaning that the core of the database consists of source fragments containing descriptions of sustenance activity—that is, verb phrases. Information concerning what someone did has been connected to information regarding who performed the activity, when, and in what context, resulting in the creation of a uniquely designed relational database.
Furthermore, the database allows for reading and searching within the original source texts from which the verb phrases are drawn. These texts are stored in the database as digital reproductions. In many cases there are images of the original handwritten documents as well.
