Rouder (Wendy) Papers, 2022-24 | The Arcaids Theatre was a theatre troupe composed entirely of people with AIDS and what was then called ARC (AIDS-Related Complex, referring to the broad spectrum of AIDS-related symptoms and opportunistic infections). Arcaids was founded in 1988 by Wendy Rouder, and attracted a core troupe of both professional and amateur actors. The troupe existed for about two years, during which time the players developed scripts and put on small public performances. Performances were a mix of scripted and semi-improvised material, often with a blackly comic tone, and with frequent musical interludes. This collection contains a wide range of documents: publicity materials, news clippings, rehearsal photos, brochures, scripts and improv scenarios, fliers for recruiting performers, notes from creative meetings, business documents, correspondence, and bylaws related to the management of the theater as a nonprofit. |

Wilderness Women, 1988-1989 | Wilderness Women was a monthly newsletter of outdoor and nature activities for women in the San Francisco Bay Area, published from 1981-2015. According to one of the original creators, the newsletter grew out of members’ previous involvement in lesbian birdwatching groups. The newsletter was first published as a San Francisco Bay Area chapter of Camping Women. The name was changed to Wilderness Women after the group decided to disassociate from the national Camping Women organization. Event listings included hikes for single lesbians over 50, outings hosted by the Gay and Lesbian Sierrans, camping trips throughout California, and many others. These issues of Wilderness Women are part of the GLBT Historical Society's Periodicals Collection. |
