LGBT Studies in Video is a cinematic survey of the lives of lesbian, gay, transgender, and bisexual people and the cultural and political evolution of the LGBT community.  This first-of-its-kind collection features award-winning documentaries, interviews, archival footage, and select feature films exploring LGBT history, gay culture and subcultures, civil rights, marriage equality, LGBT families, AIDS, transgender issues, religious perspectives on homosexuality, global comparative experiences, and other topics.  The collection will have cross-disciplinary relevance beyond LGBT courses, serving research and teaching in sociology, anthropology, psychology, counseling, history, political science, gender studies, cultural studies, and religious studies.

This landmark project, currently at 70 hours, will be growing to 500 hours of streaming video. Although this is an unusually small launch for Alexander Street, we made the decision to release the collection with careful consideration. Customers have been checking in with us often for news about the release of our two LGBT collections LGBT Studies in Video, launching today, and Gay and Lesbian Thought and Culture, the full-text and archival collection going live later in the year.  With the demand great, we didn’t want to hold back these 70 hours of films while processing additional titles currently in production.  Please keep this in mind as you review Release 1 of LGBT Studies in Videoï and know that hundreds of additional premium films will follow. For example, we’re excited to announce that we’ve just signed an agreement with Frameline, a key distributor of LGBT film and video for the past thirty years. We will add nearly 100 hours of content from Frameline by early fall.
