Title
Canadian Lesbian & Gay Archives - Keeping our stories and history alive
Description
The people, and the work, keeping our stories alive since 1973
Who are we? The answer, in brief, is a group of volunteers working in Toronto to preserve lesbian and gay history in Canada and beyond. We've been at it since 1973. And we're organized to continue this work -- and preserve that history -- long into the future.
Our primary mandate is to collect and maintain information related to gay and lesbian life in Canada -- though we have lots from elsewhere as well. We gather material on people, organizations, issues and events. (Our collecting is guided by a stated mandate, the full text of which is available here online.) We arrange that material, record it, store it -- and secure it for the future.
It is also our mandate to make this information available to the public, for education and research. Over the years we have helped hundreds of people -- students, artists, journalists, lawyers, filmmakers -- working on various projects. We also welcome those who just want to browse.
