The Bisexual Resource
Center collection documents the organization's efforts to increase
visibility and understanding of bisexuality and to provide support
to bisexual or bi–friendly individuals and organizations.
The collection documents the Bisexual Resource Center's daily operations,
shifts in governance and mission, involvement in local political
causes, and workshop and conference planning.
This collection includes collected materials from national and
international bisexual and bi–friendly organizations and events,
and scholarly and mainstream publications about bisexuality.
A highlight of this collection is the thorough documentation of
the nationwide preparation for, participation in, and response to
the 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Equal
Rights. The event is discussed in the newsletters of nearly all
of the organizations found in this collection. The march is commemorated
in a scrapbook in Box 10, described in numerous newspaper and magazine
articles in Boxes 1 and 2, and documented on film in Box 3.
Other notable materials include survey responses containing information
about hundreds of female bisexual respondents, and nearly complete
runs of several magazines and newsletters such as the Bay Area Bisexual
Network magazine, “Anything That Moves,” the Dutch magazine,
“Pink;” and the newsletters of the Boston Bisexual Women's
Network, “Bi Women” and “BBWN Newsletter.” |
