Last June, archivists at @GLBTHistory started looking through their (extensive) holdings for material relating to the Bay Area’s queer Jewish community. My story in @jewishsf on what they found: jweekly.com/2023/06/23/fro…

The @GLBTHistory collects, preserves, exhibits and makes accessible LGBTQ history, culture and arts. Recently, the Society met with #ReadyOrNotCA to establish #emergencyresponse procedures and documentation for their archive and museum locations. @CAStateLibrary #PrideMonth

Allan Berube's slides for his lecture "On the Gay Waterfront" tell the story of the waterfront as site of gay desire. 1970s lovers kiss on a pier; 1950s sailors strike a pose; a midcentury ad captures a sense of freedom and possibility. #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesUnderTheSea
