Tretter Collection
Jean-Nickolaus Tretter has collected Pride Guides, community newspapers, activist buttons, and other items of GLBT interest since his return from serving as a linguist in the Vietnam War. Already involved with F.R.E.E., the Twin Cities Pride Festival, and other community organizations by 1972, Tretter’s interest in GLBT history and culture intensified at the University of Minnesota. As a student from 1973-76, Tretter unsuccessfully attempted to study Gay and Lesbian Anthropology. At the time, University staff assured him that no such thing existed.
The University’s support provided Tretter’s Collection with proper resources; it has grown to include tens of thousands of materials that represent 4,000 years of history. In an ironic twist, Tretter now works for the University tending to his collection.
