Launch Party for the YYCGayHistory Collection

Yahoo—it’s queer history month! On Tuesday, October 22nd, from 5-8 PM, we will celebrate the accession of the Calgary Gay History Project Collection into the University of Calgary Archives. Please join us for a wine & cheese reception, with short speeches at 6 PM and collection tours throughout.

Presented by Archives and Special Collections, Libraries and Cultural Resources with support from the Calgary Institute for the Humanities, the reception will be at Gallery Hall on the main floor of the Taylor Family Digital Library. Its address on campus is 410 University Ct NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4. 

We’re delighted that these documents and artifacts are now publicly accessible (and are already being used by researchers)! The collection has been gathered from many community organizations and donors, including: Calgary Outlink, Calgary Pride, Kevin Allen, Stevie Lee Anderson, Jonathan Brower, Kelly Ernst, Matt Gillespie, Richard Gregory, Robert Lawrence, Terry MacKenzie and Kenneth Peach, Neil McMullen, Nancy Miller, Judy Moore, Pam Rocker, Gene Rodman, Joey Sayer, Michael Wright, and several anonymous donors.

Please join us next Tuesday. Everyone is welcome!
