- Subject
- Note
- The In the Life Archive (ITLA), originally known as the Black Gay and Lesbian Archive (BGLA), was created by Steven Fullwood in 1999, to aid in the documentation and preservation of cultural materials produced by and about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer people of African descent. In 2004, the collection was donated to the Schombuurg Center for Research in Black Culture, and it was renamed around 2013. The name ITLA was inspired by "In the Life: A Black Gay Anthology", edited by Joe Beam (1986). LGBTQ ballroom competitions started in the 1970s, in New York City, as a safe haven for Black and brown young people; many participants in ball culture also belong to groups known as "Houses", which serve as families for their members.
