Physical condition
Immediate source of acquisition
Donated by the Rikki Swin Institute in 2007. Precise dates of RSI’s acquisitions of Kane, IFGE, Lind and Prince material is unknown.
Arrangement
Beyond the file order in the shipping boxes, the material was received without a distinct arrangement from RSI. The various creators’ original order is not clear. Selection within the RSI Collection was based on relevance to transgender issues, and duplicates, publications unrelated to transgender issues, and non-record material were removed. Selections were made from RSI Library’s monographs and periodicals for inclusion in the UVic Library Main and Special Collections, these included books from Virginia Prince and the extensive IFGE newsletter collection. Some publications remain filed with the archival materials. There is overlap amongst IFGE, Betty Ann Lind and Merissa Sherrill Lynn material; as Lind and Lynn were key figures in the Foundation, these materials are described collectively as the IFGE fonds.
