People working to keep our stories alive
Archives volunteers, past and present
Everyone working for the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives -- now, as in the past -- does so as a volunteer. Over the years we have been fortunate in attracting people with a wide variety of skills, archival and otherwise. And their commitment is beyond question: many volunteers have been with the Archives for years -- and some for decades.
