Hi Daniel, 

Thank you so much for the ArQuives conference tour. I was totally start struck. I run the online version of the Lesbian and Gay Liberation in Canada project (started as books by Don McLeod https://lglc.ca/)  with my research partner Michelle and a tonne of dedicated research assistants. We’ve got 5400 gay liberation events up online spanning 1964-1985… including several from the GAEzette before you reinvigorated it as Wayves (hence my star-struckness!).  Even though our project ends at 1985, I am thrilled to see that both you and Dalhousie U Libraries have Wayves up online. I’ll be delighted to read them for my own pleasure. All the best with the new online version. 

Thank you for such a moving and galvanizing tour. It really made my heart sing to see the community space you have built (and built and built and rebuilt over the years!). Here, as promised is that photo of us together.

Warmly,
Connie
