Abstract

abstract: The largest non-filmic archives of the Los Angeles–based gay pornography studio Jaguar Productions are records of the company's policing under anti-gay legal regimes outlawing sodomy and obscenity. Given that such archives hold the bulk of extant records on Jaguar, state abuse not only affected the history of Jaguar but now also affects the historiographic process for making sense of what happened to the company. Archives of policing incriminate law enforcement in the production of anti-gay visual records. These law enforcement records were ultimately forged out of bigoted aims to destroy gay solidarity and community infrastructures.
