Publications
The History Project has produced two important publications documenting Boston’s LGBTQ history. Improper Bostonians is a 200-page book based on The History Project's groundbreaking exhibition Public Faces/Private Lives and which spans more than three hundred years of Boston's history—from the Puritans to the 1960s. Routes of Pride is a map showing the evolution of Boston’s Pride celebration over three decades.

Routes of Pride
Routes of Pride traces the evolution of the Boston Pride celebration – from a few dozen lesbians and gay men marching as part of a Vietnam War protest, to a massive celebration that often draws more than 100,000 participants.
