  • 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.

  • ONE INC. and REED ERICKSON the Uneasy Collaboration of Gay and Trans Activism, 1964–2003
    ONE INC. AND REED ERICKSON The Uneasy Collaboration of Gay and Trans Activism, 1964–2003 Aaron H. Devor and Nicholas Matte People who are today known as transgendered and transsexual have always been present in homosexual rights movements. Their presence and contributions, how- ever, have not always been fully acknowledged or appreciated. As in many other social reform movements, collective activism in gay and lesbian social movements is based on a shared collective identity. Homosexual collective identity, especially in the days before queer politics, was largely framed as inborn, like an ethnicity, and based primarily on sexual desires for persons of the same sex and gender.1 However, such definitions make sense only when founded on clearly delineated distinctions between sexes and genders. It becomes considerably harder to delin- eate who is gay and who is lesbian when it is not clear who is a male or a man and who is a female or a woman. Like bisexual people, transgendered and transsexual people destabilize the otherwise easy division of men and women into the cate- gories of straight and gay because they are both and/or neither. Thus there is a long-standing tension over the political terrain of queer politics between gays and lesbians, on the one hand, and transgendered and transsexual people, on the other. These boundary issues, with which recent gay and lesbian social move- ments have struggled, have been intrinsic to definitions of homosexuality since the concept of homosexual identity was first consolidated at the turn of the last cen- tury.2 Early sexologists and their contemporaries commonly assumed that homo- sexuality was epitomized by females who seemed to want to be men and by males who seemed to want to be women.3 For example, J.

Debido a ese ocultamiento, para el que la lengua inglesa ha creado la expresión in the closet (`en el armario'), el estudio moderno de esta historia debe contentarse con fuentes insuficientes. El hecho afecta especialmente al estudio del lesbianismo hasta la mitad del siglo XX.
