9 out 1973 ano - Establishment of Canadian Gay
Liberation Movement Archives (CGLMA)
officially announced (1973)
Descrição:
"Dayman made the first public announcement of the formation of the Canadian Gay
Liberation Movement Archives (CGLMA) in October 1973, while attending a national gay
conference in Quebec City (Bébout, 1979). A month later, a second announcement was published in Issue 10 of The Body Politic (1973). The announcement described the importance and urgency of creating a place for 'restructuring the history of gay people,' and called on readers to donate printed matter that would support 'accurate historical research...and make available resource material relevant to all aspect of gay history' (TBP, p. 2). Notably, this announcement also indicates that the organizers expect to find a permanent house for the archives with a university or government library once the materials have been accumulated and catalogued. That is, the intention of the founders was not necessarily to create an autonomous social movement organization, but to develop an archival collection that would counteract the paucity of resources available in traditional
archives and libraries."
