CLGS

The CLGS Archives Project seeks to obtain, preserve, and make available the papers of significant individuals and organizations in the history of religion and LGBT issues in American society. Together with the resources available through the LGBT Religious Archives Network, the CLGS Archives Project is quickly becoming the leading online resource for LGBT-related materials in religion.

In December of 2001 CLGS was proud to accept its first archival collection, the papers of John J. McNeill, Roman Catholic priest, and author of The Church and the Homosexual. This archival collection, entitled The John J. McNeill and Charles Chiarelli Gay and Lesbian Liberation Collection, is available for use by scholars and students at The Graduate Theological Union (GTU) Library in Berkeley, California.

Recent additions to the CLGS Archives:

• The Rev. Chris Glaser Archives
• The Virginia Ramey Mollenkott Archives
• The Janie Spahr Archives
• That All May Freely Serve Archives

Information on how to access these materials will be noted here as these archival collections are catalogued and become available for research.

CLGS is also honored to archive and make accessible the Open Hands Collection of articles from the journal, Open Hands. Many of these seminal articles on LGBT issues in religion and ministry are now publicly available online through this website; the whole collection will be available soon (see the Open Hands Issue Index).
