Queer Legacies Project

Queer Legacies Project (QLP) is an in-person workshop series developed by the American LGBTQ+ Museum in partnership with The Feminist Institute and SAGE, a service and advocacy organization for LGBTQ+ elders with centers in the Bronx, Harlem, Chelsea, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. QLP aims to illuminate the personal histories and ephemera of NYC’s LGBTQ+ elders through facilitated archiving workshops. The project will convene LGBTQ+ elders to emphasize the importance of their personal archives and stories within the greater narrative arc of LGBTQ+ history in the U.S. These workshops will help participants preserve their personal archives for future generations by cataloging the stories and ephemera that reflect the valuable histories of their lives.

The workshop will be held in person at the Edie Windsor SAGE Center on March 10, March 17, March 24, and March 31 from 1-4 pm.
