1969: The Year of Gay Liberation

http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/1969/

The New York Public Library's excellent online exhibit on the year of gay
liberation opens with an inviting digital poster with all the names of the
gay liberation groups represented in the exhibit. Visitors can click
anywhere on the poster to enter the exhibit. Take a look at the
"Introduction" to learn about the history of gay liberation groups. About
half a dozen or so of the groups are featured on the left side of the page,
and the visitor can click on each one to read the story of their involvement
in the gay liberation movement. Visitors who will be in New York City July
through November can catch the "Traveling Panel Exhibition" at various
libraries throughout the city, however, those visitors who won't be anywhere
near the Big Apple during those months, can "Download a PDF of the Panel
Exhibition". Finally, visitors should definitely not miss out on the link
to the "LGBT Resources at the NYPL", located in the lower left hand corner
of the page. There are collections devoted to LGBT health, seniors, history
and teens, as well as a list of other digital collections that are
available.
