01 / About the Project
Georgia Rainbow History Project
The Georgia Rainbow History Project documents and preserves LGBTQ+ lives across Georgia through community-driven research, oral histories, and archival collecting. We partner with residents, educators, students, and organizations to safeguard personal papers, photos, ephemera, and memories—so future generations can study, teach, and celebrate a fuller, truer history of the state.
History lives in the stories people trust us enough to share—and in the records we commit to protecting together.

What People Share About the Project
“The Georgia Rainbow History Project made it possible to teach local LGBTQ+ history with real voices and primary sources. My students finally saw themselves in Georgia’s story.”
A. Reynolds — High School Educator
“I reached out with a small box of letters and photos from the 1980s. The care and respect the team showed turned my family’s memories into something the community can learn from.”
D. Martinez — Community Donor
“As a researcher, I value both rigor and context. This project connects timelines, people, and places in a way that’s accessible without losing complexity.”

Project FAQ
Questions about this placeholder site
Is this site supposed to be blank right now?
Yes. This project starts as a minimal placeholder so you can paste in your own existing HTML without fighting prebuilt layouts or demo content. The goal is simply to provide a working entry point that you can replace with the Georgia Rainbow History Project’s real pages whenever you’re ready.
Where do I paste my existing HTML content?
Replace the contents of the site’s main index file with your existing markup. If your HTML references CSS, JavaScript, images, or fonts, be sure to copy those assets into the same project and update relative paths as needed so links, scripts, and media resolve correctly after you paste.
Can I add additional pages like About or Contact?
Yes. You can create additional HTML files (or routes, depending on your stack) for pages such as About and Contact and link to them from your navigation. Keep paths consistent (for example, /about and /contact) so visitors and search engines can find core project information easily.
Does the placeholder include styling, tracking, or cookies?
No. The placeholder is intentionally plain and does not include stylesheets, analytics scripts, trackers, cookie banners, or embedded media. This keeps the starting point lightweight and privacy-friendly, and it lets you add only the tools and policies that match your organization’s needs.
How do I make sure everything works after I paste?
After updating the HTML, open the site locally or in your hosting environment and click through key links, images, and forms. Check the browser console for missing files or errors, confirm that navigation paths are correct, and verify that any external embeds load as expected before publishing.
