Biography: Neil Richards was born in Bowmanville Ontario and received his education in library work in that province. Neil moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1971 to pursue a career in that field at the University of Saskatchewan Library. He was an active participant in local, provincial, and national gay organizations since the early 1970s. His activist work included participation in the Committee to Defend Doug Wilson in 1975, the organization of the 1976 convention of the National Gay Rights Coalition in Saskatoon, and many of the earliest AIDS awareness efforts in Saskatchewan. In conjunction with his work at the University of Saskatchewan Library, he produced many exhibitions and public events concerning AIDS and gay history and life. For nearly 50 years, Neil was an avid collector of all things documenting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer history in Saskatchewan and beyond. Neil believed that “No social movement can survive without two important elements: an intellectual framework and a collective memory…We are what has happened to us, and therefore the record of experience is essential in the process of becoming, and in the establishment of identity” (Peter Millard, 1998), and his avid collecting was an extension of that belief. In 1986 he succeeded in donating both records he had collected, and records from the embattled Body Politic to the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan (PAS)--making them the first Canadian public archive to acquire a large collection related to gay and lesbian life. In 2019 with the closing of the Saskatoon office of the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan those materials were transferred to the University Archives and Special Collections (UASC) to keep his materials together. Similarly groundbreaking is the Neil Richards Collection of Sexual and Gender Diversity at the University Archives and Special Collections, one of the largest of its kind in Western Canada. Neil passed away January 12, 2018. Scope and Content: This fonds contains a variety of collections gathered together by Neil during his lifetime. The main areas of interest are LGBT, cross dressing, wrestling, and (to a minor extent) running. Periodicals, postcards, posters, artwork, textual material, and audiovisual material are found throughout the fonds. Individual scope and content notes are included for each accession/collection. Custodial history: This materials in this fonds were collected from various sources by Neil Richards over his life time, and donated to PAS and UASC throughout his lifetime. From 1986 (his first donation) to 2019 his archives were split between the two institutions. When the Provincial Archives closed their Saskatoon office his archives were transferred to UASC so that they could be kept together. Arrangement: This fonds has been acquired over many different accessions over a span of many years. Some of the accessions were arranged and described by PAS and some were arranged and described by UASC, which is reflected in the style of each accession. Each accession has been processed and listed separately, and contains its own series arrangement. Further detailed arrangement notes are included with each individual accession. The following is the list of accessions, first listing the material originally from PAS and then the material from UASC. S-A595 (LGBTQ+) S-A821 (LGBTQ+) S-A875 (LGBTQ+) S-A958 (LGBTQ+) S-A1026 (LGBTQ+) S-A1067 (LGBTQ+) 2006-127 (Cross-dressing Collection) 2007-096 (Running material) 2009-110/2010-109 (Wrestling Collection) 2016-108 (Cross Dressing Addition and “Beefcake” material) 2018-168 (Personal archives) 1114-057 (Wrestling addendum) 2019-048 (Archives addendum) Restrictions: Files marked as RESTRICTED must be vetted by the archivist prior to use.

Extent: 4.25 m of textual records Scope and content: Series S-A595 of the Richards Papers is divided into two sub-series: I. Newspaper Clippings, and II. Publications. The former consists entirely of newspaper clippings -- taken mainly from Saskatchewan daily papers -- which relate to homosexuals, homosexuality, and the gay liberation movement. A minority of the clippings pertain specifically to Saskatchewan and document provincial events such as the 1978 visit of Anita Bryant to Moose Jaw, and allegations made by members of the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan of homosexuality in the New Democratic Party Government of Premier Allan Blakeney. Most of the newspaper articles covered by the clippings were taken by Saskatchewan editors from national and international wire services, and, therefore, do not pertain directly to Saskatchewan events or concerns. This material is useful in documenting the representation of homosexuals in the media, and it provides evidence of changing and fixed social attitudes towards homosexuality in Canada and abroad. The newspaper clippings were originally filed in chronological order, and this arrangement has been maintained. Several accruals have been added, from various accessions, to update the clippings sub-series. The Publications sub-series consists of publications such as pamphlets, newsletters, flyers and programmes. Gay and lesbian political, social, and religious organizations from across Canada are represented, but the largest amount of material is from Western Canada and Ontario. Saskatchewan organizations are particularly well-documented, including: the Community Women's Centre (Regina), Gay Academic Union, Gay and Lesbian Services, Zodiac Friendship Centre / Gay Community Centre of Saskatoon, Gay Community Centre of Regina, Gay Saskatchewan, Gaymates, Grapevine, Lambda Sports Group, Metamorphosis, and the Saskatchewan Gay Coalition. The original arrangement of the publications, in alphabetical order based on the organization name or the publication title, has been maintained. Arrangement: I. Newspaper clippings, 1966-1994. II.

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.

The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.
