Although several of these products remain on the market to some extent, most are historical artifacts from the height of the sexual revolution for gay men (and others). The prints, simply map-tacked to the wall, salon style, will eventually fade, like blueprints, into oblivion. Anyone interested in obtaining this work must purchase the positive films and continually replenish the images, proposing responsibilities of conservation beyond the traditional realm of collecting. The decision not to keep the work active would be to allow a period of history to disappear. This device is designed with the role of collector as keeper of the memory of a time few remember.
