GLAMA - Gay and Lesbian Archive of Mid-America

I saw this mentioned on C-SPAN today and thought it might interest some here.
"The mission of GLAMA is to collect, preserve, and make accessible the materials that reflect the histories of the LGBT communities of the Kansas City region."

It was mentioned repeatedly by author David Jackson, discussing his book:
“Changing Times: Almanac and Digest of Kansas City's LGBTQIA History”

C-SPAN video:
Changing Times David Jackson talked about his book, Changing Times: Almanac and Digest of Kansas City’s LGBTQIA History. Mr. Jackson shared his personal history and talked about how the book chronicles over 200 years of Kansas City’s LGBTQIA history. The event was hosted by The National Archives at Kansas City.
