Custodial history
The collection was originally accumulated and catalogued by the Winnipeg Gay and Lesbian Resource Centre. The Resource Centre became the Rainbow Resource Centre in 1999; this new organization still maintained custodial ownership over the Manitoba Gay and Lesbian Archives. In the early 2000's the materials were moved off site to a rental storage unit. In 2008 the Manitoba Gay/Lesbian Archives was donated to the University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections, followed by a second accession in 2009 and a third in 2010.
Scope and content
This collection contains textual records relating to various issues and information on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Two-Spirit and Queer history including: Comprehensive Works, Bibliography, Reference; Gay/Lesbian Life, Lifestyles & Concerns; Literature & Language; Visual & Performing Arts; History & Gay/Lesbian Liberation Movement; Behavioral Sciences; Social Sciences; Philosophy & Religion; Physical & Natural Sciences; and AIDS-Related Information. It also includes an extensive moving image and sound collection, including oral histories and episodes of the cable access program "Coming Out."
