Stonewall Library & Archives, Inc.
Following up with last Saturday I'll feature another couple of websites of interest. If you live in South Florida and are not familiar with the Stonewall Library and Archives, you should take the time to get to know them. 
The Library was first initiated over thirty years ago, and now is in its twentieth year of operation. According to its by-laws, the purpose is to:
The purpose of this organization is to serve as a library and archive of materials dealing with gay lesbian, bisexual, and transgender communities, including, but not limited to, literary, artistic, legal, scientific, and historical matters, and to sponsor cultural and educational events of similar interest. Facilities are open to all visitors for onsite use of materials.
In my involvement with Lavender Writes, as well as my friendship with volunteers at the Archives, I've come to appreciate the ready availability of a wide variety of books, movies and other gay-themed materials. Sadly, with the impending closure of the Gay and Lesbian Community Center, the library is forced to find a new home. My sources tell me that a permanent location will become available in 2006; however, the library will be forced into temporary, and very likely costly accommodations in the meantime.
I've promised a link to their website, and here it is: Stonewall Library & Archives, Inc.
