How can you tell the story of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community in Florida and beyond? The scholars and archivists at the University of South Florida have been collecting historically significant LGBTQ materials for years and while its scope is global, the collection also includes materials specific to the Tampa Bay region. There are finding aids and digitized materials from ten different collections offered here, including Queer Literature, Equality Florida, and the LGBT Oral History Project. Visitors should make sure to explore the Rex Maniscalco Collection of Bobby Smith Photographs which features a set of images taken by Bobby Smith from the 1950s to the 1970s, along with videos of GLBT events during the late 1990s.
