Introduction The year 2018 marked the forty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Canadian Gay Liberation Movement Archives, later known for many years as the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives (CLGA). At the CLGA’s 2018 AGM, the membership supported a rebranding of the organization as The ArQuives: Canada’s LGBTQ2+ Archives. The growth and development of the ArQuives have been impressive for an organization that is almost entirely community-based and receives no core funding. From its origin as a single filing cabinet in the office of the newsmagazine The Body Politic, the ArQuives has grown into a dynamic organization with a volunteer board of nine members, a full- time paid executive director, dozens of volunteers (more than forty of whom are active regularly), and annual revenue of $517,000.1 Since 2009, the ArQuives has been headquartered in a heritage house at 34 Isabella Street, in the heart of downtown Toronto’s large LGBTQ2+ community. The building is owned by the ArQuives and has been renovated extensively. Although the house is at the heart of the ArQuives’ activities, most of the archival accessions and collections are stored at a modern office building four blocks away, at 65 Wellesley Street East. From its inception, the ArQuives was seen as a “total archive” and collected all manner of items related or of potential research interest to LGBTQ2+ people in Canada and internationally. It holds archival accessions of the papers of individuals and organizations, a library, vertical files for ready reference, photographs, artworks, posters, moving-image and audio collections, and artifacts such as banners, matchbooks, and buttons. If the ArQuives had been formed today, however, its focus would likely be different. It was easier, in 1973, to be inclusive. There wasn’t as much to collect. Today, although the ArQuives still collects internationally in several areas, it can only hope to form representative holdings, even of Canadiana, because of the explosion of LGBTQ2+ material that has become available. 1 The ArQuives is currently the largest independent, community-based LGBTQ2+ archive in the world.

Credit : Don McLeod. The LGBTQ2+ Serials Collection The ArQuives has always collected LGBTQ2+ serials internationally and continues to do so. The collection has been curated since 1977 by Alan V. Miller. It grew rapidly, from 250 titles in 1977 to more than 600 titles, with 5,400 individual issues, by 1979. By 1981, the total had nearly doubled to 1,100 titles. It nearly doubled again, by 1986, to 1,850 titles.2 As of August 2018, there were more than 10,504 LGBTQ2+ serials titles at the ArQuives, one of the largest accumulations in the world.3 A title might be the most obscure, single-sheet, single- issue, mimeographed production—or a high-end, slickly produced, multi-issue work. Some titles, such as The Advocate (Los Angeles), or Xtra! (Toronto), run to hundreds of issues. The LGBTQ2+ serials 2 Alan V.

The only other collection of LBGTQ2+ serials that is comparable in size—and perhaps slightly larger—is housed at the ONE National Gay And Lesbian Archives in Los Angeles. 88486486 - CCahiers-papersahiers-papers 5577 - ffinal.inddinal.indd 110909 220-05-210-05-21 113:163:16 110 Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada 57 Figure 2 : The public reading room at the ArQuives. Credit : Don McLeod. collection at the ArQuives takes up considerable space, approximately 250 linear metres of shelving, and is kept in archival boxes mostly at 65 Wellesley Street East. The collection is exceptionally strong for its Canadian serial holdings, and, with 2,075 titles, is by far the largest collection of Canadian LGBTQ2+ serials in existence. But it also has titles from more than fifty other countries, and in multiple languages. The earliest title dates from the 1890s, and although the ArQuives has excellent representation of seminal LGBTQ2+ titles such as Arcadie (Paris), Jahrbuch für sexuelle Zwischenstufen (Berlin), Der Kreis (Zurich), The Ladder (San Francisco/Reno, NV), ONE Magazine (Los Angeles), Der Weg (Hamburg), and so on, the collection is heavily slanted to the period after 1969. Most titles in the collection are of local, as opposed to national or international, interest. Many represent the only surviving record of the activities of obscure local LGBTQ2+ groups or organizations. Erotic or frankly pornographic titles are collected as well.4 4 In accordance with Canadian and international law, the ArQuives does not collect LGBTQ2+ serials that depict minors engaged in sexual activity. 88486486 - CCahiers-papersahiers-papers 5577 - ffinal.inddinal.indd 111010 220-05-210-05-21 113:163:16 From Paper, to Microform, to Digital? 111 One remarkable fact about the LGBTQ2+ serials collection at the ArQuives is that it has been formed entirely through donations.

  • Request for Proposals Website Redesign for the Arquives The
    Request for Proposals Website redesign for The ArQuives The ArQuives (formally the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives) acquires, preserves, ​ protects and gives public access to information related to the LGBTQ2+ experience in Canada. Our goal is to be a significant resource and catalyst for those who strive for a future world where LGBTQ2+ people are accepted, valued, and celebrated. Founded in 1973, The ArQuives is the largest LGBTQ2+ independent archive in the world and is recognized globally as a significant resource for LGBTQ2+ documentary heritage. Archival users from across Canada and around the world visit The ArQuives to conduct research for academic projects, journalistic work, documentary filmmaking and other creative productions. The ArQuives also offers remote services to hundreds of researchers who are unable to visit the archives in person. Our collection includes personal and organizational records, vertical files, a photographic collection (20,000 plus), moving images, posters, audiotapes, cartographic and architectural plans, works of art, textiles, and artifacts (including t-shirts, buttons, matchbooks and banners). The LGBTQ2+ periodicals collection is the largest in the world (10,000 plus titles). As trusted steward of vast holdings, The ArQuives has developed outreach programs that connect the public with the evidence needed to build a strong sense of identity and shared heritage for LGBTQ2+ Canadians. This includes Pride Walk, public lectures, class visits, conference presentations, tours of The ArQuives house and social media posts. We actively engage in partnering with other LGBTQ2+ agencies and archives to provide them with the research services and material content to support their management. We also provide valuable internship experience for undergraduate and graduate students to help foster the next generation of LGBTQ2+ historians and archivists.

  • His Ghosts Must Do My Bidding
    Wysing Arts Centre Press Release 21 May 2019 All His Ghosts Must Do My Bidding An ambitious new exhibition celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Wysing Arts Centre 7 July to 25 August Launch: 6 July, 5pm–8pm Gone's for once the old magician With his countenance forbidding; I'm now master, I'm tactician, All his ghosts must do my bidding. Know his incantation, Spells and gestures too; By my mind's creation Wonders shall I do. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, 1779, translation by Paul Dyrsen, 1878) Wysing Arts Centre is delighted to announce an ambitious new exhibition to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Staged across Wysing’s 11-acre rural site, All His Ghosts Must Do My Bidding considers art as magic, artists as magicians, and the studio as a magical site.* The exhibition features new commissions from artists Jill McKnight, Tessa Norton, Pallavi Paul, Imran Perretta and Morgan Quaintance alongside works from Jonathan Baldock, Anna Bunting-Branch, Olivier Castel, Melika Ngombe Kolongo, Shana Moulton, Harold Offeh, Heather Phillipson, Elizabeth Price, Laure Prouvost, Phil Root and Tai Shani. The exhibition begins as an idealistic retelling of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, the tale in which an apprentice uses the master’s magic to cause chaos in the unattended studio, before being caught and punished. In a deliberate act of misreading, All His Ghosts... leaves the tale unfinished, re- interpreting the story as one of liberation. With the ‘forbidding’ master sorcerer gone, and the story’s moralising ending removed, the apprentice is free to experiment, to create and to fail without judgement.

Adam, B.D. (1987). The rise of a gay and lesbian movement . Boston, MA: Twayne Publishers. Although the Stonewall riots in New York City in June 1969 are generally considered the beginning of the Gay Liberation movement, "the first social movement to advance the civil rights of gay people was found in Germany in 1897." Amplifying John Lauritsen and David Thorstad's excellent Early Homosexual Rights Movement (1864-1935) (1974), sociologist Adam reviews the social, historic, and economic conditions surrounding the development of gay rights worldwide. Using secondary sources, he interweaves individuals, episodes, and examples into an overall picture, chronicling the fits and starts of lesbian and gay rights movements to the present. An extensive list of references supplements the annotated selected bibliography of this comprehensive international history.
