UK readers are likely aware of the award-winning Glasgow Women's Library, and readers around the world may delight in this opportunity to become acquainted. The library champions women's achievements and contributions, and also seeks to dismantle gender inequalities that continue to persist. The library's LGBTQ Collections Online Resource draws on this mission by highlighting some key resources from the physical Lesbian Archive in an accessible, online format. This online resource is composed of several collections: Early Lesbian and Gay Publications, Feminism and Lesbian Politics, We Recuit!: Campaigns and Organisations, The Personal is Political: Lesbian Life, and LGBTQ Life in Scotland. These collections feature various media, including art and clothing, but a bulk of the materials are publications, pamphlets, and other snippets of literary work. For additional information readers may want to explore the Bibliography page, which lists other materials used in developing the LGBTQ Collections Online Resource. Additionally, readers on Twitter can stay up-to-date with new additions to the Lesbian Archive by following the hashtag #gwllesbianarchive.
