Title A name given to the resource LESLA (Lesbianas Latinas) Photographs, 1987-1991 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1987 - 1991 Description An account of the resource These photographs were digitized from Series III of Coll. 055, LESLA (Lesbianas Latinas) Records. LESLA (short for Lesbianas Latinas) was a Boston-based group of self-identified Latina Lesbians active from approximately 1987-1991. This group was a point of connection for exploring intersectional identities that was formed in the 1980s as the LGBTQ+ community in the Boston area grew increasingly influential and outspoken. Over the course of its existence, LESLA connected with many local pillars of the Boston LGBTQ+ community, such as hosting parties at Club 1270, running advertisements in LGBTQ+ publications such as Bay Windows and Gay Community News, and marching in the Boston Pride Parade. This series contains photographs and negatives which feature LESLA members and events. The photographer of these materials is unknown. Photographs in this collection were processed at the item level and have each been given a unique identifier, digitized, and assigned corresponding metadata. Items within each subseries are arranged as close to their original order as possible. Four subseries have been established by subject matter: <a href="https://historyproject.omeka.net/items/browse?search=&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bjoiner%5D=and&advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=185&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Photos%3ABoston+Gay+Pride+1990&range=&collection=&type=&user=&tags=&public=&featured=&contributed=&exhibit=&subcollections=0&geolocation-mapped=&geolocation-address=&geolocation-latitude=&geolocation-longitude=&geolocation-radius=10&submit_search=Search+for+items" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Subseries I: Boston Gay Pride 1990, June 9, 1990 </a> The 15 photographs in this subseries document LESLA members participating in Boston Gay Pride of 1990. <a href="https://historyproject.omeka.net/items/browse?search=&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bjoiner%5D=and&advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=185&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Photos%3ABoston+Gay+Pride+1991&range=&collection=&type=&user=&tags=&public=&featured=&contributed=&exhibit=&subcollections=0&geolocation-mapped=&geolocation-address=&geolocation-latitude=&geolocation-longitude=&geolocation-radius=10&submit_search=Search+for+items">Subseries II: Boston Gay Pride 1991, June 8, 1991 </a> The 23 photographs in this subseries document LESLA members participating in Boston Gay Pride of 1991. <a href="https://historyproject.omeka.net/items/browse?search=&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bjoiner%5D=and&advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=185&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Photos%3A+LESLA+Halloween+Party+1989&range=&collection=&type=&user=&tags=&public=&featured=&contributed=&exhibit=&subcollections=0&geolocation-mapped=&geolocation-address=&geolocation-latitude=&geolocation-longitude=&geolocation-radius=10&submit_search=Search+for+items" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Subseries III: LESLA Halloween Party 1989, October 29, 1989 </a> The 22 photographs in this subseries document a LESLA Halloween Party in 1989 at Club 1270. <a href="https://historyproject.omeka.net/items/browse?search=&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bjoiner%5D=and&advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=185&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Photos%3A+LESLA+Group+Photos+1988-1991&range=&collection=&type=&user=&tags=&public=&featured=&contributed=&exhibit=&subcollections=0&geolocation-mapped=&geolocation-address=&geolocation-latitude=&geolocation-longitude=&geolocation-radius=10&submit_search=Search+for+items" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Subseries IV: LESLA Group Photographs, Approximately 1988-1989 </a> The 10 photographs in this subseries document LESLA events and group photographs outside of the events covered in Subseries I-III.
