  • The Emergence, Development and Survival of Four Lesbian and Gay Archives
    The Emergence, Development and Survival of Four Lesbian and Gay Archives by Rebecka Taves Sheffield A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Rebecka Taves Sheffield 2015 The Emergence, Development and Survival of Four Lesbian and Gay Archives Rebecka Taves Sheffield Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies University of Toronto 2015 ABSTRACT Lesbian and gay archives, particularly those established within the context of the homophile, gay liberation, and lesbian feminist movements, serve as social movement organizations (SMOs). That is, they are organizational and administrative members of activist communities that acquire, manage, and share resources for the purpose of collective action for social change. Archives are nevertheless absent from literature on social movements and social movement theory. This project was designed to expand on current research in the fields of archival studies, social movement studies, and sexuality studies to better understand the experiences of lesbian and gay archives. A multiple case study was conducted at four community grown archives: The Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives, the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives, The June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives, and the Lesbian Herstory Archives. Site visits took place over six months in 2013 and 2014, during which time interviews were conducted with 33 community archivists, volunteers, and community partners. In addition, more than 20,000 pages of organizational records related to the founding and development of these archives were reviewed. By tracing the emergence, development, and resource struggles of four lesbian and gay archives, this dissertation shows how these organizations have been shaped by broader movement goals, local geographies, socio-political structures, and the particular interests and energies of those who have nurtured their collections over the years.
