Founded in 1973, the ArQuives is a Toronto-based organization "dedicated
to celebrating, preserving, and collecting the stories and histories of
LGBTQ2+ people in Canada." Known as the Canadian Lesbian and Gay
Archives until March 2019, the ArQuives recently made their extensive
research collections publicly searchable online. These collections
include a wide variety of material, such as "the world's largest
collection of LGBTQ+ periodicals," personal papers, organizational
records, photographs, and posters, with items dating back to the 1800s.
Visitors can search the collections by keyword, or they can use the
Advanced Search feature to search within a specific date range and
narrow by fields like subject, material type, place, and those that
include online images. Under Advanced Search, visitors can also browse
by collection name or by material types. In addition to their
collections database, the ArQuives also created a Digital Exhibitions
section that makes numerous highlights from their collections viewable
online. More than 900 items can be viewed here, and this section also
contains 17 exhibits with multiple images and informative commentary. As
of this write-up, the ArQuives is led by Raegan Swanson, the
organization's executive director and a PhD candidate at the University
of Dundee.
