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.
