Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives

The Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives (ALGA) is a non-profit, community-based organisation of volunteers committed to the collection and preservation of material reflecting the lives and experiences of LGBT Australians. The material collected is either produced by LGBT people in Australia or individuals and groups focusing on the Australian LGBT community.[1] Among ALGA's collection are love poems, photographs, protest banners, posters, books and rare editions of gay and lesbian magazines. ALGA has archived tens of thousands of items from Australian queer history.[2] The ALGA collection is the biggest of its kind in the country and is located in Melbourne, Victoria.[3]
