GWonline is related to the Oxford Handbook of Gender, War and the Western World since 1600. GWonline collects and organizes resources on this subject, including secondary literature, women’s autobiographies, films and informative websites with helpful resources to make them available to the public.

The site features multiple search functions including full text search and browsable collections of curated sources organized according to: § Author or director § Publication or release date § Collection and literature/media type § Major wars and conflict periods § Countries and global regions § Keywords § Oxford Handbook chapters

GWonline makes these resources available to the broader public, including researchers, teachers (both K-12 and university level), and graduate as well as undergraduate students. Testing the site, UNC Chapel Hill undergraduates commented that they appreciated the quantity of academically reliable sources, the ease of navigating the site, and the customizable nature of the search functions.

The website also features OPEN URL, which allows users to find articles and books are available in their local libraries. When a user clicks on the OPEN URL link, the site contacts the library's URL Resolver to determine if the institution has purchased the resource and where it can be found.
