Administrative History
The Queer Resource Center was established in 1992, but the history of gay related organizations on the Berkeley campus goes
back to 1969 with the establishment of Students for Gay Power. It provided support, referral and information services for
the gay community on campus, and in the course of its activities it established a library and maintained information files
of interest to the gay community.
Scope and Contents Note

files.
