Summary
Background
- Scope and content:
-
The Linda Garber collection documents lesbian history in the Central Valley and San Francisco through oral histories and the records of Old Wives’ Tales Bookstore. The bulk of the collection consists of interviews from the Central California Lesbian Oral History Project, which aimed to fill a gap in LGBT histories that focus on large cities by collecting interviews of the 1970s from lesbians in the Central Valley. There are also four floppy disks from Old Wives’ Tales feminist bookstore, circa 1992, which contain letters, newsletters, a database and a catalog; several other oral histories, including one about the Folsom Street Fair; and a recording of the 2002 “First Time in Print” panel at the San Francisco Public Library, featuring Del Martin, Phyllis Lyon, Don Lucas and Bob Ross.
