Staff from Special Collections and Archives represented Meyer Library at the PSU in October at Missouri State’s second annual Pride Fair. Special Collections and Archives has happily participated both years the fair has been held and plans to continue their presence at future events.

MSU’s Pride Fair is an event that celebrates LGBTQ+ pride as well as connecting students with local community members and resources. The Pride Fair is held at the end of October, which is LGBTQ+ History Month. 

Tracie Gieselman-France and Ashley Morrill worked to display materials from the OLGA collection held here in the library. It was a great opportunity to show students the types of collections and materials they can find as interested. There were many participants and attendees this year and it is expected to continue to grow in the following years.
