ACADEMIE GAY & LESBIENNE

Also called the Conservatoire des archives et des memoirs Homosexuelles, this association created by collectors in 1975 has begun a colossal collection and preservation of documents relating to the homosexual world in France and the world: leaflets, posters, posters, calendars, programmes, plans, magazines, novels, photos, comics, drawings, paintings, tourist guides and of course magazines. A true gay and lesbian archive, in sum, which to date is not subsidized and which is therefore not available if not online for a small part. Thus, the Academy team digitized the first issue of Akademos published in 1909 and considered the first homosexual newspaper in France.
