Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives
The Archives is the a community group in Australia that actively collects and preserves LGBTIQ material from across the country, and makes it readily accessible. It includes material of national and international scope including material on the historical life of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities of Australia.
GLBTQ Archives
The glbtq project was founded in 2000 by Publisher Wik Wikholm to create the world's largest encyclopedia of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer culture and history and to deliver it online.
Women & Gender Studies Section (WGSS)
The Women & Gender Studies Section (WGSS) of the Association of College & Research Libraries was formed to discuss, promote, and support women’s studies collections and services in academic and research libraries.
Russian Gay Culture
Overviews of Russian gay literature, history, and films.
Queer Arts Resource
Since 1996 we've produced over 60 exhibitions that suggest the range, depth, and importance of queer artistic expression.

Until the recent advent of Queer Studies, the History of Art has omitted most material of direct relevance to lesbians and gays. Much has been suppressed, much has been lost due to neglect or censorship, and a great deal has simply been overlooked. QAR is expanding the range and depth of knowledge about contemporary and historical queer art, and making this information freely available on our website.
