Welcome to the Gay and Lesbian Archive of Mid-America!

GLAMA is a partnership between the Kansas City Museum and the LaBudde Special Collections of the Miller Nichols Library at the University of Missouri - Kansas City to collect, preserve, and make accessible the documents and artifacts that reflect the history of the gay and lesbian community of the Kansas City region.

GLAMA is possible from generous donations of personal and organizational papers, images, magazines, ephemera, memorabilia and other materials related to the history of the local LGBT community.

This site will provide you with an overview of the materials that have already been gathered as well as give you an idea of what else we would like to collect and preserve.
