FitzGerald donated records relating to the Women’s Press to the Archives and Special Collections, University of Ottawa and these can be found in Series 9 of The Women’s Press fonds. The Women’s Press records in this series are files from her office at University College, which weren’t included in the 2017 donation to the University of Ottawa.

In addition to her work at the U of T, FitzGerald was actively involved in small press publishing and writing. Included in this series are files about her children’s book (co-authored with Linda Briskin), The Day the Fairies Went on Strike (Press Gang Publishers, 1982); files from her time as Managing Editor of the Women’s Press (1985-1990) and as co-owner with Lillian Allen of Well Versed Publishing; and files of correspondence and other writing (book reviews, articles, book blurbs).

There are also files related to the curation of a Queer U of T display at Robarts Library in 2004, and the exhibit Queer CanLit at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library in 2008. Finally, there are drafts of chapters for the book Any Other Way: How Toronto Got Queer (Coach House Books, 2017), which she co-edited with Stephanie Chambers, Jane Farrow, Ed Jackson, John Lorinc, Tim McCaskell, Rebecka Sheffield, Tatum Taylor, and Rahim Thawer.

These files have been restricted to protect the privacy of third parties. Please contact the University Archivist for additional information.
