    Neil Richards Pro-Wrestling Collection. – 4 M of Publications; Collector Cards: and Posters

    Neil Richards Pro-Wrestling Collection. – 4 m of publications; collector cards: and posters. – 1900-2010 (inclusive) 1950-1980 (predominant). Born and educated in Ontario, but living in Saskatoon since 1971, Neil Richards (1949 - ) is a collector with a wide range of interests in popular culture. As a boy and youth he was a television fan of professional wrestling. He began to collect historical wrestling material in earnest in the 1990s. Much of the collection was acquired through purchases on EBay and from internet vendors. He has previously donated a large collection of early Regina wrestling programs (Regina Wrestling News – Shortt GV 1198.15 .R44) to the Special Collections Department of the University Library. Subsequently the great bulk of his collection was donated to the University of Saskatchewan Archives in 2010. The collection served as the primary source for the October 2009 exhibition , "Ring-A-Ding- Dong-Dandy: Glimpses of Wrestling History" held at the University of Saskatchewan Library. The collection has two principal focuses - the period 1950 to 1970, often seen as a golden age of professional wrestling due to the entertainment’s enormous popularity on early television, and material documenting wrestling in Canada, especially in Saskatchewan and other parts of Western Canada. The majority of the collection’s items are American in origin although many of these were distributed and widely available in Canada. Canadian produced photos and publications are additionally well represented. A small number of items were produced in Great Britain and Australia. The collection’s focus represents the collector’s personal interests – and the types of professional wrestling with which he had a personal connection or knowledge.

    Neil Richards Fonds

    MG 355 - Neil Richards fonds Dates: 1876-2018 (inclusive); 1900-2016 (predominant) Extent: 30.53 m of textual material plus OS; 18 CD-Rs; 38 LPs; 108 VHS; 371 DVDs; 4 audo cassettes; 857 photographs; 32 35mm slides; 14 negatives; artifacts, periodicals, graphic material, art prints and posters. 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.
