#QueerArchivesAtHome is a crowdsourced digital archives of pictures, videos, and stories; a space where we in the LGBTQ community can come together during this time of social distancing through sharing our personal history. Look through your boxes, closets, drawers, and bags. What do you have with you right now that tells a little part of the many stories of LGBTQ history?
While The History Project's collections focus on the stories of Boston and Massachusetts' LGBTQ communities, in this time of taking physical distance to protect our community, it has become clearer than ever how little geographical boundaries represent who we are. We invite all to participate in this project, regardless of location. Make your history a part of the records of LGBTQ history!
We'll share your materials on our social media pages (Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter), and upload submissions to our digital repository (Documented).
As of March 12, 2020, The History Project is closed to the public in response to COVID-19 (see Our Reponse to COVID-19). During this time, we want to share your history at home.
If you have a Google account, please complete this survey and upload your submission directly to Google Drive.
If you'd rather contact us by email, please fill out this form with your submission and email us.
