University Libraries,
in conjunction with those of the Saskatchewan Archives Board and the
University of Saskatchewan Archives [housed in the same building],
probably contain the second strongest collection in Canada [after the
National Gay Archives in Toronto]. The Saskatchewan Archives Board,
Saskatoon office (SAB) has a number of important gay and lesbian
collections: the Richards collection donated by Neil Richards of
Saskatoon, occupies over 14 linear meters and was assembled over the past
20 years. According to the SAB Personal Papers Archivist, Nadine Small,
the scope and depth of the collection permit the detailed study of
Canadian gay and lesbian life and issues since the 1960s. Other
collections include: the Doug Wilson papers, the record of a high profile
Canadian gay rights activist; the Peter Millard papers detail the various
involvements in the struggle for gay rights of this U. of S. emeritus
professor of English and former chair of the U. of S. Faculty Assoc.; the
Don McNamee papers are those of a former U. of S. professor of art and
human right activist; and the papers of the Coalition for Human Equality,
of which McNamee was a prominent member.

Programs
In the late 1990s the University set up
a Committee for LGB Courses (chair: Cecil Wooten, Classical Studies) with
a budget of about $200,000.00, to encourage gay and lesbian studies in
traditional departments. The money came from a bequest made to the
university by Dr. Charles Williamson of San Francisco, to be used for this
purpose. The committee sponsored individual lectures or small conferences
dealing with gay and lesbian topics, and granted money to faculty for
developing new courses. By 2000 there were about fifteen courses that
could be considered part of a gay and lesbian studies program.
In
2002, the University undertook a comprehensive study of lgbtq climate
issues on campus; it is available as a download-able file:
http://www.unc.edu/glbtsa/lgbtqreport.doc. As a result of that study, a LGBT Office was established in Student
Affairs (http://lgbt.unc.edu/), and in 2004 an undergraduate minor in Sexuality Studies was
established: http://www.unc.edu/sexuality/index.htm.
The Program
in Sexuality Studies (cf. Duke University's Program in the Study of
Sexualities) offers many courses from a wide variety of departments.
For further information, contact the director of Sexuality Studies: sexuality@unc.edu.
