The first series in this collection contains student projects from Marie’s course at California State University Northridge (CSUN). These are oral histories in video and audio mediums, as well as essays and artistic projects to accompany the interviews. There are a large number of born digital files from these oral history projects not listed here. These date from 2021-present and are held at the Mazer. Please contact us if you would like to view or know more about these more recent projects.

The second series contains dissertations by others, and research for her own book Baby, You Are My Religion. The dissertations are organized by title, alphabetically.

The third series, LGBT and feminist materials, contains LGBT and feminist events and resources, history, artwork, writings by others, objects, posters, ephemera such as buttons and flyers, and self-defense and strength training objects from karate classes Marie attended. There is also a miscellaneous collection of materials.

The fourth series of materials contains research specifically related to abuse and sexual assault. These were separated because they contain sensitive material.

Some materials in the collection discuss sensitive topics such as sexual assault, child abuse, incest. There were also racist materials found in this collection. A content warning has been included in the box content list for items the processing archivists identified as containing this triggering and harmful content. The Mazer welcomes an ongoing dialog with our community about generative ways to process and describe materials that contain or reflect systemic violence. We encourage you to contact the Mazer if other harmful content is found in this collection and/or to further this dialog. You can reach us at contact@mazerlesbianarchives.org.
