    Edmonton Queer History Collection

    by Guest Author March 10, 2025
    written by Guest Author

    The University of Alberta Library continues to add to our openly accessible digital collections. We are excited to share the latest additions to the Edmonton Queer History Collection. This collection includes 2SLGBTQ+ community magazines, newsletters, and items of historical significance and is made possible through our ongoing partnership with the Edmonton Queer History Project and MacEwan University Archives. 

    New Additions 

    This new batch includes significant materials that highlight the rich and diverse history of the queer community in Edmonton. Featured items include the GALA Newsletter, Webspinner, AIDS Network of Edmonton Newsletter, and the Newsletter of the Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians, Bisexuals, Gays, and Transgenders. These resources offer valuable insights into the experiences, struggles, and victories of the local queer community in the late 20th century. Explore these newly added materials and dive deeper into Edmonton’s queer history!

    Digitized Collections

    University of Alberta Library’s digitized collections represent unique and distinctive materials identified for inclusion in our collections for their research, teaching, and learning value. Have a look at a selection of our most popular collections. More information about our Digitization activities can be found at: library.ualberta.ca/digital-initiatives/digitization. 


    Thank you to Sarah Nocente, Academic Library Resident in Digital Production + Preservation Services for sharing these collections with us.
