Books |
Here at the Bay Area Reporter, we are often asked about archival resources for gay media and gay books, so we present a partial list of many LGBT libraries/archives in the US, and their websites. They deserve support, donations of time, materials, energy and money, in saving our 60 years of history in working for the civil rights of LGBT Americans.
