Gale Training

With academic interest in the social history of the 20th century rising, academics, more than ever, are turning to primary sources to give voice to history. Archives of Sexuality and Gender: Community and Identity in North America is a 20th century collection that offers perspectives on society, sexual identity, community building, and gender issues with collections from Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The archive contains materials that cover activism and social justice issues, highlight disabilities in Queer society, offer information around alternative sexualities, document interactions between sexuality and religion, and represent diverse ethnic communities across North America. Join us as we explore these unique and mostly unpublished manuscripts, monographs, and other personal papers that outline the histories of individuals, communities, and their identities through different social conditions and relations.
