Help Us Build a Community-Generated Archive of 20 Years of Marriage Equality in Massachusetts

 

The History Project is embarking on an exciting tour across the Boston Public Libraries to document and preserve personal stories from the last 20 years of marriage equality in Massachusetts. While the legal battles are well known, many LGBTQ+ love stories have yet to be shared—and that’s where you come in!

 

Join us at one of our upcoming Pop-Up events to share your wedding memories, photos, invitations, vows, and more. Our team will be scanning photos, collecting oral histories, and displaying an educational exhibit. This is your chance to contribute to a community-driven archive that will preserve these stories for future generations!

 

Pop-Up Locations:

📍 Thurs. 10/17, 3-6pm → BPL Roxbury Branch
📍 Tues. 10/22, 2:30-5:30pm → BPL Charlestown Branch
