We’re a collaborative group of historians, archivists, and community organizers dedicated to documenting LGBTQ+ life across Georgia. We collect oral histories, preserve personal papers and ephemera, and build accessible pathways for educators, students, and the public to engage with the record—always with care, consent, and respect for lived experience.

Coordinates oral history interviews and supports community members who want to share their stories. Develops interview guides, trains volunteers in ethical practices, and helps ensure recordings and transcripts are preserved responsibly. Focused on building trust, centering narrators’ agency, and creating context that makes each story usable for future research.

Manages materials offered to the project—from flyers and photographs to letters and organizational records. Oversees collection intake, basic conservation, and clear descriptive metadata so items can be found and understood. Works to balance access with privacy, and to preserve fragile materials for long-term community memory.

Connects the archive to classrooms and communities through talks, workshops, and public programming. Creates teaching-ready resources and collaborates with partners on exhibits and events that honor local histories. Committed to making the project useful—helping people discover sources, ask better questions, and see themselves in Georgia’s past.
