Scott Seyforth, ELPA PhD Alum has helped produced a photography exhibit, The 602 Club in the Sixties, currently on view through July 27 in the Class of 1925 Gallery at the Memorial Union. The exhibit features rare interior images of the 602 Club taken by John Riggs between 1964 – 1968. During the 1950s and 60s, The 602 Club was one of the few public places LGBTQ folk could assemble in Madison, becoming a gathering place primarily for gay men. The sixty images in this exhibit provide a rare glimpse into a Midwestern gay male gathering place in the mid-60s – prior to the Stonewall Rebellion. The Wisconsin Historical Society, the Chicago Gerber/Hart Archives, The Philadelphia John J. Wilcox, Jr. LGBT Archives, and The New York LGBT National History Archive do not have a similar collection of interior photos of bars where LGBTQ folk gathered from the 1960s. The exhibit is a product of Seyforth’s efforts in co-founding The Madison LGBTQ Archives, housed at University Archives.
