The Richards Collection, containing rare and/or fragile titles and collections dealing with sexual and gender diversity, complements the Library’s extensive circulating collections on these subjects. Among the collection’s particular strengths are holdings of LGBT periodicals, books by Canadian authors and publishers, queer mystery and detective fiction, and titles of both nonfiction and fiction (including pulp novels) which predate the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and the beginning of the Gay Liberation Movement. Access: material is fully catalogued and the records are accessible on the online catalogue.
