“The collection provides access to material from hundreds of institutions and organizations representing/participating in LGBTQ history. The collection contains gay and lesbian newspapers; meeting minutes, and administrative records from LGBTQ organizations worldwide; private correspondence; government reports and memoranda, and photographs. The collection is able to shed light on: the response to the HIV/AIDS crises, LGBTQ activism in several countries including the United States, Canada, and Britain; development of women’s rights activism; and political and social organizations founded by LGBTQ individuals. Materials from major collections and libraries around the world are included. . . . This is a very unique resource and represents a major and meaningful effort to support the study of LBGTQ issues. It is highly recommended for academic and large public libraries. It is carefully and thoughtfully constructed and enhanced with advanced search tools. It is invaluable to have all of these major sources of information in one place, and the addition of the powerful search features make it even more valuable.”
