The Kingston Music Club began in 1929 as the Music Group of Kingston Arts and Music Club. Its purpose was for local musicians to get together to listen to music and study from performance of their own members. In 1934 the group established itself as the Kingston Mucic Club and in 1936 the club formed a junior branch, now known as the Kingston Junior Music Club. It produces public concerts that give young performers an opportunity to become accustomed to performance in concerts, festivals and examinations. In 1973 the Club joined with the Kingston Kiwanis Club to form what is now the annual Kingston Kiwanis Music Festival. The club celebrated its golden anniversary in 1984 and continues to operate as an Executive Committee promoting junior recitals and actively supporting the Kiwanis Music Festival.

In 2011 Janice McAlpine and Renée van Weringh proposed that they work with Queen's University Archives to establish and develop an archival collection pertaining to the Kingston Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer 2 Spirited community. Documentation of gay and lesbian life has been scant. Lesbians and gay men have often destroyed or concealed records of same-sex relationships, and when they have not, family and society at large have frequently stepped in posthumously to expunge the evidence. The resulting dearth of information about queer lives has made growing up and coming out difficult for the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, transsexual, two-spirited, and queer) contingent of each generation.
This is not a recent problem or a local one, but it is one with local implications: although some large centres have lesbian and gay archives, such as Toronto’s Lesbian and Gay Archives, the regional record of gay and lesbian life in Canada is almost nonexistent.
