M&C Donation to USF LGBT Special Collections
>USF Starting New GLBT Special Collections at Library
The University of South Florida Library in Tampa is starting a new GLBT Special Collections area. A meeting with Merrell Dickey, USF Director of Library Development and Mark Greenberg, USF Director & Associate Librarian of Special Collections Dept. wanted to grow the beginnings of the Tampa Bay and Florida GLBT Special Collections Area. We have contributed the massive collection of gay Tampa pictorial history photo books and gay historical materials from Tampa Pride, Art For Life, Hillsborough Human Rights Force, Equality Florida, Orlando Gay Days, Tampa Intl Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, MCC Tampa, Tampa Bay’s Gay Men’s Chorus and so many other businesses, groups and organizational meetings. This was all from a collection from decades of our dear local GLBT historian and photographer friend, Rex Maniscalco. Covering over 3 decades of local and statewide gay events, in 13 very large packed boxes, Mark & Carrie donated and delivered.
Also contributed to the special collection is the entire local GLBT monthly magazine collection from The Gazette running from 1988 – 2007, Womyn’s Words monthly 20 year run magazine and a historical collection of 1940 thru 1980’s gay photos from local Tampa gay pioneers, Bobbie Smith and partner, Kay Thompson.
More items are being collected and added to make USF one of the premier and most comprehensive GLBT library Special Collections in the country. FMI contact USF Library Special Collections/ GLBT area.
