dc.description.abstract	The Milwaukee Gay/Lesbian Cable Network (MGLCN) collection includes records dating from 1987 to 1994. MGLCN was established by a group of individuals who wanted to produce regular programming on local gay and lesbian issues using the newly available facilities of MATA (Milwaukee Access Telecommunications Authority) Community Media. MGLCN produced Tri-Cable Tonight, a monthly news and entertainment program; the New Tri-Cable Tonight, a panel discussion program; and Yellow on Thursday, a comedy show featuring shorts, skits, and parodies. This text corpus is derived from those AV materials. The full finding aid for the MGLCN records can be found here: http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/wiarchives.uw-mil-uwmmss0206

LGBTQ+ Text Corpus
The LGBTQ+ AV Archive Mining Project (2020-2021) was aimed at developing and making available models for extracting text, building usable text datasets, and developing public-facing data visualizations based on audiovisual (AV) materials in the LGBTQ+ collections in the <a href="https://uwm.edu/libraries/archives/">UWM Archives</a>. The LGBTQ+ AV Archive Mining Project used machine learning tools and human quality control and oversight to build and process the text datasets available here. Creation of this corpus was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as part of the second cohort for <a href="https://collectionsasdata.github.io/part2whole/">Collections as Data: Part to Whole</a>.
