We are delighted to announce a co-sponsored RBMS/GLBT-RT Program for ALA Annual 2015 . The 2015 ALA Conference program is titled "Curating Activism in LGBT History". This conversation-focused session delves into the importance of collecting, preserving, and making available materials documenting the history of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender activism. Panelists will reflect on successes and shortcomings in caring for the cultural memory of LGBT activists, movements, and daily lives in special collections libraries and archives as well as the nexus between education and activism within the LGBT community. The conversation will include not only knowledgeable panelists with unique perspectives, but also the audience, whose participation, questions, and perspectives are an essential part of the session, too. This session is fully co-sponsored by the ALA GLBT Round Table and the Rare Books and Manuscript Section of ACRL. Amy Sueyoshi (Associate Dean of the College of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University) and Paul Boneberg (Executive Director of the GLBT Historical Society) have accepted invitations to speak on this panel. Anne L. Moore, Special Collections Librarian, UMass, and former GLBT-RT Chair 2002-06,2010-13, will be the moderator. Time: Saturday, June 27 1:00 to 2:30 pm. Location TBA. If you have any questions, please contact me. Lisa
