I loved this piece so much! And I felt so seen because I also always tear up when I talk about queer archival history 🥲

Thank you for writing this! I’m a queer/lesbo librarian and have recently become the keeper of my family’s history and obsessed with my great aunt who I swear was low key gay. The letters between her and “friend” from the 19teens and 1920s are incredible…and the photos. The straights in the family don’t see it, but it takes one to know one and I see it…

Thank you for this list of resources. I knew about a few of them but not all. My writing is also about reclaiming queer history (specific to music.) This is a wonderful list.

I’ve been trying to cover some trans history ( and eventually queer history retrospective ) , recently based on the sway of current events , so I agree with you 100% https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-unseen-struggle-transgender-americans

Thank you all the way around

i’ve been mulling over the idea of becoming a librarian/archivist, and this made me want to do it even more 😭
