Reporting on the renovations to the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives in Toronto, which will expand the archive and improve accessibility.
Abstract:

Excerpts:
Founded in 1973, the archive is not just a resource for the gay community," Findlay says.
"It's very interesting the number of non-LGBTQ people who come here to do research," he says.
"Because they realize the kinds of struggles that we went through are in many ways the kinds of struggles that other communities of minorities are also going through."
City Coun. Kristyn Wong-Tam, whose Ward 27 Toronto Centre - Rosedale includes the archive, says it's important to the city's gay community to have a record of its evolution.
"We certainly don't learn about it in history books," she says. "And if you don't have the stories recorded and the history of the community recorded, those stories eventually disappear."
