The Gay and Lesbian Archives Western Australia (GALAWA) Inc. was formed in the mid-1990’s to collect and protect various materials produced by and for the gay and lesbian community in Western Australia. The collection consists of street press, newsletters, magazines, organisational documents, photographs, newspaper clippings, manuscripts (published and unpublished), posters, costumes and various other items.
The PFA Small Grant will be used by GALAWA towards the process of providing a catalogue of the archive inventory to the National Library of Australia for national significance assessment.
