Synopsis

Archival Access Points explores the under-examined world of preserving LGBTQ comics, a unique art form representing a vital part of LGBTQ history. The book addresses the specific challenges archives and libraries face in acquiring, cataloging, and providing access to these materials. Many of these comics exist outside mainstream channels, often self-published or in digital formats, posing long-term storage and accessibility issues. Traditional cataloging methods also often fail to capture the nuances of LGBTQ experiences, making appropriate metadata crucial. This study examines the evolving practices used to preserve LGBTQ comics and the developing academic field analyzing them as cultural artifacts. It highlights that thoughtful preservation and accessible cataloging are essential to safeguarding these voices, especially as content may be considered sensitive, requiring careful consideration of privacy. Through case studies and interviews, the book examines how institutions are actively addressing these challenges.

The book progresses by first introducing core archival theory and LGBTQ comics history. It then examines case studies of institutions preserving and cataloging these materials, culminating in proposed best practices and ethical considerations. By focusing on the intersection of LGBTQ comics and archival practices, this offers a unique perspective valuable to archivists, librarians, scholars in gender and sexuality studies, and anyone interested in preserving cultural heritage and promoting social justice.

Endurance - An Epic of Polar...

F.A. Worsley, Patrick O’Brian

The legendary tale of Ernest Shackleton's grueling Antarctic expedition, recounted in riveting first-person detail by the captain of HMS Endurance. 
 
 
 
"You seriously mean to tell me that the ship is doomed?" asked Frank Worsley, commander of the Endurance, stuck impassably in Antarctic ice packs. "What the ice gets," replied Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition's unflappable leader, "the ice keeps." It did not, however, get the ship's twenty-five crew members, all of whom survived an eight-hundred-mile voyage across sea, land, and ice to South Georgia, the nearest inhabited island. 
 
 
 
First published in 1931, Endurance tells the full story of that doomed 1914-1916 expedition and incredible rescue, as well as relating Worsley's further adventures fighting U-boats in the Great War, sailing the equally treacherous waters of the Arctic, and making one final (and successful) assault on the South Pole with Shackleton. It is a tale of unrelenting high adventure and a tribute to one of the most inspiring and courageous leaders of men in the history of exploration.
