Chronological Archive

The Chronological Archive is a long-term project under construction, that aims to chart the progress of the MAP Movement and adjacent cultural trends. This means that the material we archive here will relate predominantly to political activism, covering the time period from the postwar era to the end of the early internet era (2010), in which Newgon was born, and new texts started to become routinely available on pirating websites. We will make further additions from before and after this period if the older material relates to activism or the newer material makes historical references. Image Files will be presented in a separate gallery above PDF and Wikitext files. External links and books are placed at the bottom of each year's entry, and any texts that are in need of re-hosting by Newgon will be highlighted in orange. We are not an academic archive, as described, although our allies Ipce are known to serve this purpose, and we know that they are securely hosted. We are also not a video archive, although our allies FST are also securely hosted. We may point to other secure/safe archive resources such as these, and further news archives at the end of an entry for a year. Academics and Private Researchers: For an article length treatment of the MAP Movement's association with the LGBT Movement, please see Historical examples of LGBT-MAP unity, and the enclosed article by David Paternotte as a source. For an entire dissertation on the wider war on "Sexual Offending" in America, please see Punishing Queer Sexuality in the Age of LGBT Rights by Scott De Orio (backup here). Both of these sources can be cross-referenced against the archive and other archives mentioned here, to form a fuller picture. Still unsure of where to find information or need direction for your studies? Contact us or join our chat. For a category-based classification the material on this page, see Category:Archival.

We may also preserve examples of material we have reason to believe is rare (such that it might be at risk of completely eluding future archivists) and of considerable importance.
