Latrobe Journal 87
Queen City of the South: Gay and Lesbian Melbourne presents a history that will be new to many readers. Using archives, remembrance, experience and reflection, the various contributors bring new insights to our knowledge and understanding of Melbourne.
The articles in this special issue of the La Trobe Journal cover both historical and contemporary subjects ranging from the relationship between the two female pastoralists, Anne Drysdale and Caroline Newcomb, to an account of how museums and libraries are now dealing with LGBT related material.
There is also a strong focus on the 1970s, the decade of Gay Libertaion, including memoirs and a portfolio of photographs taken by Rennie Ellis during Gay Pride Week in 1973. There are also reflections on what is GLQ history and how tyhis is new and emerging history practised.
