In 2007, the South African Gay and Lesbian Archives, Gay and Lesbian Memory in Action (GALA)
celebrated its tenth anniversary. In a relatively short period of time, these archives have been
able to assemble a unique collection focussed on the history of gays and lesbians in South Africa.
Magazines, videos, newspaper clippings, minutes of action meetings, T-shirts, interviews,
letters and photographs have all found their way to the archives. By making the collection
accessible GALA wants to contribute to the actual realisation of the rights of LGBT persons
as established in the South African constitution.
