This website was developed by Amy Belotti and Julie Hunter to fulfill a final project requirement for the Fall 2012 Film and Media Collections class. This project describes how to secure permissions for still image content. The website is designed and built to navigate users through the appropriate questions to ask regarding public domain, fair use, copyright, and ultimately, how to determine who owns the the rights to an image. The website acts as a tutorial prompting the reader through a series of questions. Answers are given in the form of a “yes” or “no” response, and depending on the response given, users are guided through the necessary steps to find rights holders.
This archive is possibly the largest collection of digitized audio materials about Lesbians and Lesbian communities, featuring notable Lesbian artists and activists, including Mabel Hampton, Audre Lorde, and Adrienne Rich. It also features the women of Buffalo, New York, who were interview subjects for the now seminal work of LGBT studies, Elizabeth Kennedy and Madeline Davis’ Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold: The History of a Lesbian Community. This archive provides an oral account of 20th Century LGBT life, particularly the 1920s through the 1990s, a time in which being gay was rife with conflict.
