The LGBTQIA+ Archives are a project to begin digitally archiving and documenting queer history. The project was an idea started by Winter Cashman (they/them) in 2019, and has become a blog and wiki in 2021 which continues to expand and grow.
What We Do
Our goal is to preserve and document all media and history related to LGBTQIA+ communities. Viewers are able to submit old photos, news articles, and other media to help us expand our collections and allow others to see history through the eyes of everyday LGBTQIA+ people. Once submitted we can connect the media to events and people in history and create a more immersive experience of our community history. We welcome submissions by email or social media. Physical media can be sent to our PO Box after sending an email describing the item and its significance.
Social Media
Physical Collections
We collect, and purchase when necessary, physical media from decades past. When public domain or fair use applies, digital copies are created and made available to the public. All physical collections are stored for their preservation and future availability.
