      abstract = {Started in 1974 by lesbian feminists seeking to document  lesbians' lives, experiences, and concerns, the Lesbian  Herstory Archives now contain the world's largest  collection of materials about lesbians and their  communities. Its holdings include clippings, flyers,  brochures, conference materials, reports, correspondence,  and other documents not generally available in libraries.  Although important documents encompass earlier periods, the  bulk of the collection focuses on the 1970s, 1980s, and  1990s. This collection is made up of more than 1,700  subject files. Documents about lesbian history begin with  the Middle Ages, focus on the 1970s, and extend to the  2000s. Materials in the collection document political  participation, lesbian and gay civil rights issues during  the 1970s and 1980s, and specific demonstrations and  rallies. Numerous items are devoted to specific legal cases  or issues related to the legal system, such as prisons.  Others focus on bias, homophobia, and hate crimes. The  collection also provides perspectives on issues not  directly involving lesbian rights, such as the women's  liberation movement, the Equal Rights Amendment, and the  anti-nuclear movement.},
