- Summary:
- The materials in the Los Angeles City College Gay and Lesbian Student Union Records comprise one of sixteen collections of records from the ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives, the world's largest repository of LGBTQ materials. These files document the lives of LGBTQ individuals from 1940 to 2012, the organizations they founded, the discrimination they faced, and the devastation of the AIDS crisis. Most of the items concern individuals or groups from California. Established in 1979, the Gay and Lesbian Student Union (GLSU) of Los Angeles City College (LACC) organized a series of speakers for a gay history month; advocated for the inclusion of gay studies courses at LACC; marched in the gay pride parade; and established a Harvey Milk Memorial Scholarship Fund for gay and lesbian students. Covering the years 1979 to 1980, the collection includes meeting minutes, correspondence, administrative records, event flyers, scholarship fund records, clippings, photographs, and publicity material. This collection is vital for anyone researching the many facets of LGBTQ life in California and the United States in the second half of the twentieth century.
