University Libraries,
in conjunction with those of the Saskatchewan Archives Board and the
University of Saskatchewan Archives [housed in the same building],
probably contain the second strongest collection in Canada [after the
National Gay Archives in Toronto]. The Saskatchewan Archives Board,
Saskatoon office (SAB) has a number of important gay and lesbian
collections: the Richards collection donated by Neil Richards of
Saskatoon, occupies over 14 linear meters and was assembled over the past
20 years. According to the SAB Personal Papers Archivist, Nadine Small,
the scope and depth of the collection permit the detailed study of
Canadian gay and lesbian life and issues since the 1960s. Other
collections include: the Doug Wilson papers, the record of a high profile
Canadian gay rights activist; the Peter Millard papers detail the various
involvements in the struggle for gay rights of this U. of S. emeritus
professor of English and former chair of the U. of S. Faculty Assoc.; the
Don McNamee papers are those of a former U. of S. professor of art and
human right activist; and the papers of the Coalition for Human Equality,
of which McNamee was a prominent member.

PRISM serves the GLBTQQA
(gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transgender,
queer,
questioning, and allied) community of UCA including students, faculty,
staff, and alumni. PRISM (Pride, Raising awareness,
Involvement, Support, and Mentoring) was formed in 1997 and has
steadily grown to be an influential organization in motivating the student
body to open themselves up to diversity, especially diverse sexual and
gender-related orientations. The alliance also works to promote
awareness,
tolerance, equality and understanding, and to dispense GLBTQQA-related
information campus-wide. In addition, it strives to offer support services
for GLBTQQA students.
