Description
This collection documents the history of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Baltimore and Central Maryland (GLCCB) between 1979 and 2015. The bulk of the analog archival collection held at University of Baltimore Special Collections & Archives is a set of "Gay Life" newspapers dating from 1979 to 2014. The collection also includes GLCCB program files, GLCCB photographs and posters, Pride festival planning records and ephemera, artifacts from the former community center on Chase Street and The Hippo nightclub, and memorabilia from the community. Also present are nine video (digital files) oral history interviews conducted in 2012 for the Center's 35th anniversary.
The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center of Baltimore and Central Maryland was founded in 1977 in Baltimore, Maryland as the Gay Community Center of Baltimore (GCCB). In 1985, the Center's name changed to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center of Baltimore (GLCCB). Over the years the Center has provided outreach, education, and services to the community, including a health clinic, regular printings of the GCCB newsletter which eventually became the Baltimore Gay Paper (BGP) and was later titled "Gay Life," the annual Pride celebration in Baltimore City, and more. In February 2019, the Center changed its name to the Pride Center of Maryland.
