One of the most important journals for anyone interested in gay and lesbian history in Canada is Perceptions, once the longest continuously published G/L newsmagazine in Canada. Perceptions was published in Saskatoon from 1983 - 2013, and included news coverage and opinion from all three prairie provinces. We are happy to feature on this site a comprehensive, fully searchable index to the journal (1983-2004) compiled by Alex Spence.
