This month’s edition of SICS radio is the second of two programs showcasing independent community libraries and archives in Australia. In this program we focus on two amazing and hugely important organisations: Australian Queer Archives (https://queerarchives.org.au/) and the Jessie Street National Women’s Library (https://www.nationalwomenslibrary.org.au/). Contributors Barbara Henry, Sherri Hilario (both JSNWL) and Nick Henderson (AQA) tell us the story of their libraries and archives – how and why they were founded, what they hold, and who uses them and why.
