Letters from Sanford: Mail, Library of Congress, and Subject Headings is a zine filled with correspondence from Sanford Berman, a critical cataloging librarian, to the Tretter Collection in GLBT Studies over the past two decades regarding classifications in Library of Congress (LC). From the title page: "The pages that follow are reproductions from the mailings Sandy has sent to the Tretter Collection in GLBT Studies at the University of Minnesota. These mailings are primarily concerning LGBTQ classification in LC. Yet Sandy's scorecards tell a much broader narrative of his activism in the cataloging world - from the mundane, to the political, to the identity-based subject headings. Sandy's lifelong commitment to cataloging is evidence of the power, not just of language, but the organization of knowledge."

About — 1. More queer voices merit publishing than get published. 2. Queer storytelling is intergenerational memory. 3. In telling history, place is as important as time. 4. Photocopiers are a powerful and practical tool for DIY publishing. 5. Own the means of production and share it. 6. No publication is too short. Scope Note: We publish non-fiction, erotica, and informal research-based writing. We are interested in local queer history, community libraries, community archives, queer archival collections, queer textiles, arts organizing, oral history, local walking tours, queer place/space, overlooked stories, DIY culture, queer correspondence, the obscene, and the absurd. Publications can take many formats, not limited to zines, pamphlets, and facsimiles using typewriters, photocopiers, and ephemeral inclusions. We are not a literary press or a comics publisher; poetry, fiction, and graphic narrative fall out of our scope.
