      abstract = {The National Transgender Library and Archive was founded  by Dallas Denny, an Atlanta-based activist, writer, and  organizer in the transgender community. Denny was also the  founder and served as executive director of the American  Educational Gender Information Service (AEGIS), a  non-profit advocacy group for individuals with gender  dysphoria. AEGIS distributed materials and provided  referrals to physicians, attorneys, clergy, and support  groups within the community. In 1998, AEGIS was folded into  Gender Education and Advocacy (GEA), a Georgia-based  nonprofit. The collection is comprised of six parts, all  containing material relating to transgendered individuals  as well as the practice of cross-dressing and the  cross-dressing community. The largest subset includes  periodicals discussing transgender issues and  cross-dressing, as well as related clippings from popular  magazines such as Esquire and Good Housekeeping. The  remaining parts of the collection include conference and  workshop materials; photographs and articles from AEGIS;  materials associated with shopping for items related to  cross-dressing; medical information pertaining to sexual  reassignment, electrolysis, and breast augmentation; and  Denny's extensive index of books on transgender issues. The  collection also includes a small sampling of transgender  ephemera.},
