Donations arrive at SRC in many forms, and sometimes we cannot keep everything we receive. Our mandate usually makes it easy to separate out what should be set aside for deaccession... but perhaps I should make an exception this time.

Max Allen was a CBC producer and co-founder of the Textile Museum of Canada. An active member of the Canadian Committee Against Customs Censorship, Allen's collection of censored and challenged pornographic books and videos became the foundation of the Sexual Representation Collection. -HC

In this time of heightened censorship and legislative threats to sexual expression, sexuality research is more important than ever. Make your fetish porn stash a part of archival memory! Whether you are a collector, a performer, a worker, artist, or advocate, your stories matter. -HC
