This page shows the structure of the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives website in outline, with some comments about the contents -- current and prospective -- in each part. Highlighted titles link to pages already available. Other titles represent pages planned but still in development.
Archives Home Page: With direct links to ten main pages
This is the biggest part of the site, giving details on eight different kinds of archival holdings and four distinct library collections. It also has a page defining some key archival Terms and concepts, and explaining the different ways we handle archival and library material.
For each of the eight kinds of archival holdings and four library collections, there is an introductory page. There may also be other pages connected to this particular set of material: a list of Inventories (finding aids and other guides); and a list of Related documents -- essays, commentaries, bios -- on people and issues you might come here to research.
Some inventories and related documents are available only on paper. Both lists provide links to any available online. Each of those listings pages also has a [Site plan] link to bring you back to this page if you want.
For a quick overview of -- and direct links to -- all inventories and related documents accessible via this site, see the List of online documents.
