In the spirit of WorldPride and Pride Toronto, the Fisher Library joins these celebrations by showcasing recent acquisitions and other highlights from our collections in our new display case. From a selection of gay pulp fiction to a sermon dealing with “sin of sodomy” printed in 1628, the books, periodicals and photographs on display exhibit the potential found in the collections of the library relating to the history of homosexuality in Canada and around the world.

Below we feature some images of books from the items on display, but we encourage you to visit us. The exhibition, curated by Fisher Librarian David Fernandez, runs through the month of June. To download an audio clip of David talking about the items on display, please click here.
