- Making Invisible Histories Visible (The June L. Mazer
Lesbian Archives). / : The June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives and
The Regents of the University of California, 2014. The June L.
Mazer Lesbian Archives, located in West Hollywood, California, has
collected the papers, images, and ephemera of everyday lesbians
since 1981. Originally titled the West Coast Lesbian Collections
and founded by Cherie Cox, Lynn Fonfa, and Claire Potter in
Oakland, CA, their acquisition policy included “anything a
lesbian ever touched.” In 1986, June Mazer, her partner,
Bunny MacCulloch, and others arranged for the struggling archive to
be brought to Los Angeles. “Grassroots” well describes
their efforts and the archives that bear June Mazer's name, as the
word indicates the groundwork, basis or foundation of something
originating in or emerging from people removed or isolated from a
major political center. Grassroots archives, to paraphrase Jackie
Goldsby, allow us to imagine the histories of people and
populations otherwise ignored or left undocumented by the political
center. In the Mazer’s boxes and materials lie past traces
and future imaginings of lesbian and feminist ways of seeing,
living, writing, protesting, and, most importantly, desiring and
loving. This resource book provides a guide to the Mazer’s
vital collections while also telling the story of how they came to
be housed at UCLA, a large state institution and major research
university. Grassroots organizations and state institutions’
interests are, by definition, distinct and incommensurate, and the
path to this outcome was by no means easy or certain. But it was as
necessary as it was groundbreaking. From "Preserving the Legacy of
Lesbian Feminist Activism and Writing in Los Angeles" (pg. 9)
