Personal Touches, Public Legacies: an Ethnography of Lgbt Libraries and Archives PERSONAL TOUCHES, PUBLIC LEGACIES: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF LGBT LIBRARIES AND ARCHIVES DANIELLE COOPER A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GENDER, FEMINIST AND WOMEN’S STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO NOVEMBER 2016 © DANIELLE COOPER, 2016 ii ABSTRACT Personal touches, Public legacies: An ethnography of LGBT libraries and archives examines lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) information organizations in Vancouver, Canada and surrounding areas. In order to develop a deeper understanding of the diversity in, changes to and challenges for LGBT information organizations, a multi-sited ethnography was conducted between June and September 2014. Organizations featured in the study include: two autonomous LGBT information organizations (the BC Lesbian and Gay Archives and Out on the Shelves Library), two LGBT information organizations founded within universities (the Archives of Lesbian Oral Testimony at Simon Fraser University, the Transgender Archives at the University of Victoria), an LGBT-focused collection within Vancouver’s public municipal cultural milieu (the Ken Brock collection at the City of Vancouver Archives and the Museum of Vancouver) and, a temporary, autonomous home library with a queer mandate (the STAG Library). This study puts feminist, LGBT and queer studies in dialogue with archival studies and library and information studies (LIS). The chapters are organized by overarching themes associated with information organizations and address specific theoretical discussions that accompany those themes: location (Chapter 2), collection development (Chapter 3), organization and dissemination (Chapter 4) and mandate (Chapter 5). The findings not only explore how LGBT information collections and organizations interrogate and reimagine the definitional boundaries of what constitutes an information collection and information organizations more broadly but also examine how concepts of gender, sexuality and queerness are understood in the realm of the information organizations under study. The divide between normative and non-normative information collection and organizational practice is not simple or stable, but, like the concept of queer, is ever shifting. The findings demonstrate that queer information organizing persists in LGBT information organizational contexts, but not in ways necessarily anticipated by existing literature on the topic. This study also highlights how the relationship between the LGBT communities and the public is in great flux as some LGBT communities become increasingly considered a part of the mainstream public. It is precisely this oscillation and tension between concepts of the personal and the public that define LGBT information organizing activities in this current moment. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Ethnography is in essence a collective endeavor and I am thankful for all of those who took part in its co-creation, formally and informally. The THEN/HiER (The History Education Network/Histoire et Éducation en Réseau) Visiting Doctoral Student Award funded an inaugural visit to Vancouver and Victoria that laid the groundwork for my dissertation proposal. The Ontario Graduate Scholarship and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Doctoral Fellowship generously funded this research. York University’s fieldwork cost fund and Susan Mann Dissertation Scholarship also supported my research and writing. Over the course of conducting my research, I had the opportunity to learn from so many different people working within the context of LGBT information organizing. Ron Dutton regularly welcomed me into his home/archives, and he worked with me tirelessly throughout. I hope my work serves as a testimony to Ron’s lifelong dedication to the LGBT community. Gabriel Saloman and Aja Rose Bond welcomed me into their home/library as well, and I am so grateful for their creative energies and all the dynamic work they do. Ken Brock generously provided his time and insight into his rich personal collection and Viviane Gosselin at the Museum of Vancouver played a key role in introducing me to him. Aaron Devor and Lara Wilson at the Transgender Archives and Elise Chenier at the Archives of Lesbian Oral Testimony took the time to talk and share their important work on these groundbreaking collections. Nailisa Tanner at the Archives of Lesbian Oral Testimony not only provided key insights into that organization but also, and perhaps even more crucially, showed me the point where friendship and ethnography can productively meet. I am also thankful to the patrons and volunteers at the BC Gay and Lesbian Archives, the STAG Library, and Out on the Shelves Library for sharing their unique perspectives and experiences. A group of incredible scholars guided this project. My supervisor, David Murray, provided that perfect mixture of support and critical input at every juncture that ensured that my project could flourish. David showed me how to be the kind of ethnographer I aspire to be: one who carefully and thoughtfully balances one’s own perspectives with those being studied. Allyson Mitchell brought a creative perspective as a scholar and artist that this project truly needed and her artistic practice has been hugely informative in how I think about the intersection of cultural production, politics and space. Jacinthe Michaud introduced me a wealth of theories of and perspectives on feminism and social movements, and her ongoing support and enthusiasm has nurtured this project since its earliest stages. Outside of my committee, Jenna Hartel has been a significant mentor throughout my career—she is why I am an ethnographer and she taught me the power of following “the red thread of information” throughout my work. Marc Stein provided invaluable insight in this project’s earlier stages and I am also grateful to Nick Mulé, Kate Eichhorn and Shannon Bell for their generous participation in my defense. My family and friends provided endless support. Ela Przybylo and Sara Rodrigues bolstered me throughout the entire PhD process with their friendship and collegiality. Sara also provided excellent professional copyediting services. Lifelong friend Dasha Kornienko turned “the field” of Vancouver into home. This project would not exist without the unlimited patience and support of my partner Ariel Leutheusser. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT......................................................................................................................

  • LGBTQ2+ Inclusion in Canadian Museums
    “This is not a nal document. It has been reviewed by the CMA LGBTQ2+ Working Group and is currently under community review. The document is intended as an introduction to LGBTQ2+ inclusion for Canadian museums, which will help launch a series of inclusive strategies to help guide cultural institutions on how to engage, reect, and celebrate diverse Canadian communities. The content is based on current research, standards, and consultation but feedback is welcomed. Comments, questions, and concerns can be directed to Sarah Gervais at [email protected].” only Draft LGBTQ2+ History ● Pre-colonization: Most Indigenous nations across Turtle Island included people who embodied male and female spirits or were considered a third gender, and they were highly regarded in their communities.1 ● Colonization: Non-binary gender roles and identities were systematically destroyed as a result of European Colonialism and their rigid belief systems. ● 1892: The “gross indecency” law was passed, which made all homosexual male activity illegal. Amendments were made to the Criminal Code in 1948 and 1961 to further criminalize homosexuality. ● 1950s-60s: During the Cold War, homosexuals were suspected to be communists and the RCMP compiled lists of suspected homosexuals and used these to prevent them from gaining employment in the government. The “fruit machine” was used in an effort to eliminate gay men from civil service, RCMP, and the military in Canada. ● 1969: Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s government passed Bill C-150 to decriminalize homosexuality in Canada. ● 1971: We Demand! was Canada’s first large-scale gay-rights protest on Parliament Hill ● 1981: Toronto Police raided four gay bathhouses, arresting over 300 men.

  • The Work of the Lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14
    Queering Vancouver: The Work of the lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14 Catherine Murray* he proposition, so often asserted, that Vancouver is an avant- garde paradise for people who identify as lgbtq (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer) merits careful examination.1 What evidence is usually cited? Social movement historians confirm that T lgbtq the city was the site of the first organization – the Association for Social Knowledge (ask) – that influenced national and regional social movements; that it developed a “thick,” active, and diverse associative structure of local gay, lesbian, and transgender rights and service groups; that it was the site of transformative protests or events; and that it is today well ensconced within Pacific Northwest and global social networks.2 Its lgbtq groups have achieved a distinctive record of groundbreaking struggles – even if there is as yet little agreement among social historians * I am indebted to the International Women’s World (2011) panel, the members of which discussed the first draft of this article; to Sarah Sparks, research assistant and MA graduate in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at Simon Fraser University; the constructive anonymous reviewers from BC Studies; and, especially, BC Studies’ editor Graeme Wynn. 1 Manon Tremblay, ed., Queer Mobilizations: Social Movement Activism and Canadian Public Policy (Vancouver: ubc Press, 2015), 31. Like Tremblay, I use the term “queer” to designate all non-heterosexual people. 2 For queer urban history of Vancouver, see Anne-Marie Bouthillette, “Queer and Gendered Housing: A Tale of Two Neighborhoods in Vancouver,” in Queers in Space: Communities, Public Spaces, Sites of Resistance, ed.
