Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

First and foremost, the authors acknowledge the students of CTSJ 337 at Occidental College, who were extraordinarily patient with our pedagogical experiment. Their initial research has guided Lukes’s writing of the extant chapters and Kim's organization of this Scalar project. We list them here in alphabetical order:
Adrienne Adams
Declan Creed
Daniel Calzadillas-Rodriguez
Casey Diaz
Gavin Heferran
Promise Li
Brita Loeb
Maggie Mather
Lindsay Weinberg
For course funding and support, we thank the Mellon Foundation, as well as Occidental College’s Center for Digital Liberal Arts and the college’s Center for Community Based Learning.
We thank the ONE Archive for its access, guided tours, and very existence. We thank REACH LA, and in particular Joseph Stewart, for introducing us to this non-profit’s amazing cache of stuff. We thank all of our oral history narrators and particularly MW Wilson for access to the Shotgun Club collection. We thank Kelly Besser, archivist/librarian/artist extraordinaire, for the class visit on queer community archiving in LA and the zine workshop.
Among students who have worked on Grit and Glamour LA after the semester of CTSJ 337, we thank Promise Li, whose analysis of this project led to a brilliant senior thesis at Oxy and (we would like to think) his acceptance into Princeton’s English PhD program.
We especially thank Daniel Cazadillas-Rodriquez and Adrienne Adams. These two truly made
Grit and Glamour LA possible. We solicited Cazadillas-Rodriguez and Adams’ reflection essays in honor of their moving and important work on this project.
Finally, our project is dedicated to the memory of Stuart Timmons, a shining star in the constellation of early independent scholars who allowed academic LGBT* studies to become a reality. As Cazadillas-Rodriguez discusses in more detail, Timmons led our class on a Silver Lake walking-tour months before he passed. Among all our classes’ readings, workshops, fieldwork, and archival visits, Timmons passion for passing history on to younger generations truly brought home the importance of documenting queer LA.
In Memoriam, Stuart Timmons, 1957-2017
