LGBTQ History and Culture Since 1940, Part II

Trace LGBTQ Culture Across the Decades

Connect students, educators, and researchers to a vast resource containing rare and unique documentation of LGBTQ history. Fully searchable periodicals, newsletters, manuscripts, government records, organizational papers, correspondence, an international selection of posters, and other primary source materials for this milestone digital program, which was given a Platinum Award at the 2023 Modern Library Awards, were selected by an advisory board consisting of leading scholars and librarians in sexuality and gender studies.

LGBTQ History and Culture Since 1940, Part II provides coverage of underrepresented communities through access to key publications. This second installment in the series highlights often-excluded groups—even within the LGBTQ community—and enables users to draw new connections across the development of LGBTQ culture and activism.
