A Concise History of the University of Ulster, Trans-Gender Archive (1986-2010)
(2013-06-07) Ekins, Richard
Item is a brief history (one page) on the founding and development of the University of Ulster, UK, Trans-Gender Archive. When the University of Ulster Trans-Gender Archive (TGA) was founded in January 1986 by Richard Ekins at the University of Ulster, UK, it was the first such collection in the world to be housed within a University setting, and the term “trans-gender” was barely in use. The TGA became “The Transgender Archive” in 2000, in recognition of the widespread use of the term “transgender” by that time. The Archive ceased its connection with the University of Ulster in July 2010, when Richard Ekins became Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Cultural Studies at the University of Ulster and it was donated to the University of Victoria in 2013.
