What’s New in the Archive

Grateful thanks are due to Malcolm for depositing with us a file containing transcripts of the posters, leaflets, articles and flyers produced by Sussex Gay Liberation Front between 1970 and 1976. Malcolm was a member of SGLF and has drawn on his own memories as well as those of Doug and Bob, who were also prominent in the group.

We were glad to receive too, from Val a biography of the poet, Charlotte Mew, and some newsletters of the Older Lesbians Network from 1998–2003. From Elsa, via Val we’ve gained our first original copies of the pioneering lesbian magazine, Arena Three and many issues from Sequel’s first five years.

Sally has given us a newsletter and photo of Brighton Badgers Football Club and Matt’s contribution from a friend of a friend of a friend is also much appreciated.
