Spying Before Stonewall: How the FBI Secretly Tracked Gay Activists in the 60s
Spying Before Stonewall: How the FBI Secretly Tracked Gay Activists in the 60s A trove of previously buried documents tells the story of how anti-LGBTQ surveillance targeted queer people in the United States—and how those people pushed back. EC By Eric Cervini June 9, 2020, 3:51am Queers Built This is a project about queer inventiveness and DIY culture then, now, and tomorrow. Astory of queer liberation is concealed in a dystopian-looking crypt in Washington, D.C. You can’t find it…

Urgently needed advice. Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives volunteer Steve Duke was maintaining a Facebook group, 'Alan McKail', about his research into early twentieth century queer culture in Australia. After Steve's death in September, the page was deleted, against his family's wishes (and seemingly against Facebook's rules regarding the maintenance of groups after the death of the administrator). His family has not been able to convince Facebook to reinstate the page; I've tried to request reinstatement as the intellectual property owner of some of the material Steve used but have received no reply and, since I agreed to his using the material for his own purposes, I don't expect an easy result there. Is there any way of convincing Facebook to at least release the material from the page to a digital archive?

Are we losing the Hunter's LGBTIQ history?
Are you a part of the Newcastle and Hunter LGBTIQ community? Do you have a story to tell and memories to share? Would you like your experiences to live lkong after you, to be memorialised as part of a living record, stored in a museum for posterity?
Rainbow Voices Hunter has formed to record and collect oral histories and to document and safeguard the life stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, intersex and queer people in the Hunter region, before they are lost or forgotten. Already the organisation has negotiated with the newcastle Museum for the project to become a Museum oral history project and the institution has offered training and resources to ensure that these stories are properly gathered and stored.
Rainbow Voices Hunter is holding its first open meeting to announce this exciting new project. We are seeking support, feedback, suggestions for interview subjects, as well as community volunteers to help with interviewing, logging, archiving, cataloguing, researching and organising.
Our special guest speaker is Julie Baird, Deputy Director of the Newcastle Museum.

Number six in the Litwin Books Series on Gender and Sexuality in Information Studies, Emily Drabinski, Series Editor
In the 21st century, there are more LGBT information resources than ever before. The challenges that arise both from the explosion of born-digital materials and the transformation of materials from physical to electronic formats has implications for access to these resources for future generations. Along with preservation concerns, making these numerous digital LGBT resources available to users becomes more difficult when they swim in an ocean of websites, EBooks, digitized objects, and other digital resources. Librarians, archivists, and museum curators must engage in a range of new digital practices to preserve and promote these numerous LGBT resources.
A “digital practice” in libraries, archives, and museums includes, but is not limited to, the digitization of physical objects; the creation of online resources and services that improve access to these objects; the use of online catalogs, databases, and metadata to categorize such objects; and the online social media and Web 2.0 tools used to connect users to these resources. Information professionals engaged in digital practices must also understand the information needs, online searching behaviors, and online communication styles of their patrons in order to make them aware of the digital resources that may be of use to them.
This is the first book to specifically address the digital practices of LGBT librarians, archivists, and museum curators, as well as the digital practices of seekers and users of LGBT resources and services. More broadly, this collection aims to address these issues in the context of the technical, social, economic, legal, and political challenges of creating LGBT-specific digital collections, electronic resources and services.
