In this episode, Dr. Marie Cartier sits down with Angela Brinskele, Director of Communications for the June Mazer Lesbian Archives. They explore the rich history preserved at the Mazer, one of only two brick-and-mortar lesbian archives in the U.S. Angela shares fascinating stories about the artifacts related to lesbian bars, including rare photos, flyers, and memorabilia from bars like The Palms and The K in Long Beach. They also discuss the challenges of documenting lesbian history, particularly in decades where bar culture was essential yet dangerous for LGBTQ+ people. Angela reflects on her personal experiences in lesbian bars during the 1980s and the importance of preserving queer spaces for future generations. This episode offers a glimpse into the invaluable work of maintaining a history that might otherwise disappear.
