Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection contains correspondence written to Sandy Ramsey and Olivia Records materials including photographs mentions of Olivia in publications and Olivia Records newsletters. The majority of the collection contains Olivia Records meeting agendas. These agendas span 1976-1979.

Some materials of note include early Olivia documents from 1974, letters and responses to the attack on a transwoman, Sandy Stone, including a twelve-point response letter in Box 2, Folder 4 (including a 2018 article on the subject in Box 1, Folder 9), an original set of thirty Olivia Distributors newsletters, fundraising and membership appeals, and "anti-Olivia" materials including Noelle Hanrahan contesting her firing from Olivia.

Some materials in the collection discuss sensitive topics such as harmful ideas of transness in Box 2, Folder 4. 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.
