Gay Bell fonds

CA ON0034 10-117
Fonds
1970-2011

This fonds contains records related to Gay Bell's involvement with the early lesbian movement in Toronto, prisoners' rights activism, labour activism, and women's liberation. Including brochures, pamphlets, flyers, correspondence, buttons, and ... »photographs related to the local instantiation of these movements in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Bell collected alternative publications and periodicals that detail their wider historical context. The fonds also contains scripts, rough notes, photographs, and newspaper articles related to Bell's theatrical performances, which were often innovative and sometimes controversial. When Bell donated these records in 2011, she included explanatory notes that provide detail and context for local events and initiative which have been lost to history. This fonds is thus invaluable for studying the early lesbian movement, queer involvement in labour organizing, prison activism, and the expanding purview of women's liberation in the last decades of the 20th century.

Ce fonds contient des documents relatifs à l'implication de Gay Bell dans le premier mouvement lesbien à Toronto, le militantisme pour les droits des prisonniers, le militantisme syndical et la libération des femmes. Il comprend des brochures, des dépliants, des prospectus, de la correspondance, des macarons et des photographies liés à l'implantation locale de ces mouvements à la fin des années 1970 et au début des années 1980. Bell a rassemblé des publications et des périodiques alternatifs qui détaillent leur contexte historique plus large. Le fonds contient également des scénarios, des notes brutes, des photographies et des articles de journaux relatifs aux représentations théâtrales de Bell, souvent innovantes et parfois controversées. Lorsque Bell a fait don de ces documents en 2011, elle y a joint des notes explicatives qui fournissent des détails et un contexte pour les événements et les initiatives locales qui ont été perdus dans l'histoire. Ce fonds est donc inestimable pour l'étude des débuts du mouvement lesbien, de l'implication des queers dans l'organisation du travail, de l'activisme en prison et de l'élargissement du champ d'action de la libération des femmes dans les dernières décennies du XXe siècle. «
