The Bernier LGBT Collection
The Bernier LGBT Collection has been created to increase the visibility and study of materials relating to lesbian, gay, bi- and trans- cultures and communities. Made possible in large part by the generous donations of Peter Bernier, a CBU alumni, the collection consists of several hundred items and continues to grow as new items are acquired.
The collection consists principally of academic works on LGBTQ+ issues and culture, as well as literature dealing with LGBTQ+ subject matter or written by openly LGBTQA+authors. However, the collection spans multiple subjects and disciplines and features a range of formats as diverse as poetry, photography, erotica, anthologies, periodicals and more.
HQ76 Area (Second Floor)
The collection is not currently housed in a single space, but many of them could be found in the HQ76 area (See the pictures below). All items are capable of being loaned by patrons as with other items in the general collection.
CBU faculty and community members are invited to recommend subject areas or specific acquisitions. To make such a request, contact the SASS Librarian.
