NEW! Archives of Sexuality & Gender: LGBTQ History and Culture


Southwestern College Library now provides access to the Archives of Sexuality and Gender: LGBTQ History and Culture Since 1940 in its collection of e-resources.

This archive houses more than one million pages covering several thematic collections on gay rights, LGBTQ culture, feminism, gender studies, and more. It also includes historic LGBTQ newspapers and magazines, government reports, and other sources.

 In the Archives of Sexuality and Gender, you can find publications, photographs, and remembrances of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) movement that used nonviolent action to protest the US government’s handling of the AIDS crisis. You can also read historic issues of the Lesbian Feminist in the Lesbian Herstory Archives Newsletter Collection.

SWC students, staff and faculty can access Archives of Sexuality & Gender: LGBTQ History and Culture Since 1940 from both on and off campus locations. Visit the Southwestern College Library’s Articles and Databases website for access.

Also – don’t forget to stop by the third floor of the Library this month to visit our display commemorating LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Books, streaming media, articles, and more are available to all SWC employees and students.
