LOS ANGELES—Join staff from the Autry’s Libraries & Archives as they share highlights from archival materials related to Gay Rodeo and provide guidance on how to care for your personal archives.
Autry staff will cover the DIY preservation of photographs, scrapbooks, letters, media, and more, along with case studies and answers to some of your most pressing questions. The workshop will be followed by a walkthrough of the newly opened Imagined Wests gallery, exploring how personal collections can preserve oft-neglected stories and bring them to life for current and future generations.
The Autry’s Gay Rodeo Archive is comprised of the institutional archives of the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) and the Golden State Gay Rodeo Association (GSGRA), as well as the Gay Rodeo Oral History Project and items from the exhibition Blake Little: Photographs from the Gay Rodeo.
