Summary
This is an artificial collection of zines and small press publications purchased by the Eberly Family Special Collections library. Taken together, the collection's items provide users information on important history and current topics of concern within the queer community. The collection provides users the opportunity to witness the evolution of queer literature and community from the onset of the gay rights movement at the end of the 1960s into the current battles for trans rights in the 2020s. Included are erotica, newsletters, educational materials, broadsides, and zines.
Subject(s)
Genre(s)
Provenance
Much of the custodial history for these zines and other publications is unknown, due to the nature of zine making and small press publication work.
