Fun Fact Friday with Special Collections

This week, we are looking at another collections reflecting Louisiana’s LGBTQ+ community.

This collection is GLASS (Giving Love Acceptance Safety and Support). This is thanks in part to a grant from the American Library Association's American Rescue Plan: Humanities Grants for Libraries and funding through the National Endowment for the Humanities. These collections consist of papers, photographs, newspaper clippings, artifacts, and books based on Acadiana and Louisiana’s LGBTQ+ community. Refer to the LGBTQ+ Archives Project Research Guide for more information.

The GLASS Collection (Collection 1-I 01 a1) contains flyers, photographs, newspaper clippings, and posters for the annual drag show. This collection can be found in the University Archives and like all collections is available on request.

Posters from past years drag shows:
