It's 50 years since the founding of Olivia Records, the lesbian recording company that launched the women's music movement. But who were the volunteers behind the scenes who helped distribute the albums, daring to place lesbian music in record stores and radio shows? Come learn about Olivia's L.A. years in the mid-1970s, when album distributors did the tough work and created a lasting international network of fans and customers.This intimate panel with Olivia historian Bonnie Morris and former Olivia worker Sandy Ramsey features rare Olivia papers that Sandy will be donating to the Mazer!


This event is presented by the City of West Hollywood and One Archives, and is part of the 2023 Circa Queer History Festival Presented by One Institute and sponsored by The June L. Mazer Mazer Lesbian Archives.

Katherine V. Forrest will be reading from her newest Kate Delafield mystery, yet to be published!

About this Event

Join the June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives on Saturday, September 5th 2:00 PM PST for a virtual book reading and conversation with the pioneering lesbian writer, novelist, editor and literary critic Katherine V. Forrest. She will be reading from her newest Kate Delafield mystery, yet to be published!

"When the series first began in 1984, introducing LAPD detective Kate Delafield, it not only marked the beginning of one of mystery fiction's most successful series, it also created one of the most lucrative genres in gay publishing: the lesbian mystery. With this series, Forrest's complex and determined lesbian detective became the most celebrated figure in lesbian fiction." (A quote from the Los Angeles Review of Books)

This is a Zoom event so please RSVP to get the Zoom link on the day of the event. Donations are welcome and much appreciated!
