LGBTQ Collections: Reference Files

Reference files from the Williams Nichols collection

Resource files of print materials organized by topics such as AIDS, documenting organizations or individuals associated with LGBTQ issues and events, and broad subjects such as religion or sports. David Williams established these files in 2001 and continues to add topics and materials.

Since 2001 semiannual indices of news items from the Courier-Journal have been compiled in a binder and cross-referenced here.  The same goes for the University of Louisville's Cardinal newspaper after May 2013.  An asterisk (*) after a listing indicates that additional information can be found in one of those indices.  A news item in those indices may not necessarily produce a comparable piece of paper, in which case "no folder" is noted.

Ekstrom Library and the Louisville Free Public Library, among others, maintain complete microfilm libraries of the Louisville Courier-Journal.  They can also be accessed online at www.newspapers.com, a subscription service.

David Williams did extensive research on various words and phrases used to describe LGBTQ people found in the Louisville Courier-Journal before Jan. 1, 1923.  His findings can be found under Williams, David, or Williams, N. David.
