The Atlanta Lesbian Feminist Alliance (ALFA) Archives and Periodicals Collection provide rich insight into feminist and lesbian activism from the 1970s to the early 1990s, particularly in the American Southeast. The Rubenstein Library holds ALFA’s organizational records as well as the hundreds of grassroots newsletters and journals they collected from other lesbian, feminist, and activist groups. Shown here is Atalanta, ALFA’s own self-produced monthly newsletter. #lgbtqhistorymonth #lgbthistorymonth #lgbthistory #lgbtqhistory #rubensteinlib #iglibraries #librariesofinstagram (at David M.
