Archives
The University of Ulster Trans-Gender Archive, which contained donations from many British trans persons, is no more.
It had been maintained by Richard Ekins since its founding in 1986, but was never inventoried. After he retired Ekins offered the collection to the London School of Economics’ LGBT Hall-Carpenter Archives, but was told it would not be accepted because of a lack of an inventory listing what it contained. They also insisted that they would need him to get rid of any items subject to copyright or containing personal information like addresses. Ekins actually starting destroying content under this imperative, but did not get to a position when the Hall-Carpenter Archives would accept the collection. Apparently other possible UK sites were not consulted.
The collection has now been acquired by The University of Victoria Transgender Archives. Opinion by Christine Burns, Catherine Baker.
