About Gregory Sprague

Nationally known for research in Chicago lesbian and gay history, Gregory A. Sprague co-founded the Committee on Lesbian and Gay History of the American Historical Association and was active in the Gay Academic Union.

In 1978 he founded the Chicago Gay History Project, a precursor of the Gerber/Hart Library. He lived in Chicago for ten years during which he made an impact not only within the local gay and lesbian community but also throughout scholastic and educational communities in which gay and lesbian history was considered taboo and ignored as an area of study.
