The first half of the talk will provide an overview of the organization’s vast collections, highlighting the different types of archival materials—from organizational records to photographic collections, to art and artifacts—with examples that illustrate a range of queer people, places, and events from the mid-20th century to the present. The second half of the talk will focus on five figures documented in our archives, and the ways they used photography to present themselves to us as queer and proud. The presentation will also highlight some aspects of transportation.
