This is such a great article on the evolution and impact of this lesbian newsletter. This series makes me want to start a queer zine every time.

I’m not sure if you’ve answered this in a previous article, but do you work at a queer focused archive or do you work in a more general repository and focus on queer records? Obviously, feel free to not answer that for privacy reasons.

I’m an archivist at a historical society in the Midwest and I’m a bit jealous of the work you get to do. We have verrrry few materials on the queer community in our city as there’s another archive that specializes in that and I just process collection after collection of rich old straight guys.

Great article! For further reading, there’s also a wonderful book about the DOB called “Different Daughters” by Marcia Gallo. https://burningbooks.com/products/different-daughters-a-history-of-the-daughters-of-bilitis-and-the-rise-of-the-lesbian-rights-movement?srsltid=AfmBOopXLxOY0VCeRFiN6Cf6qjdRFG7oerJm8FhfNE85lAukHHFGpolO
