Grounded in the oral histories of LGBTQ+ alumni, faculty and staff from 1959 to 2019, this site allows you to engage with interviews (audio recordings + transcripts), explore Lafayette’s Queer history through primary sources (200+ archival objects, complete with metadata), and much more.
Led by a collaborative, interdisciplinary team of faculty, staff and students, the QAP illuminates Lafayette College's LGBTQ+ history,supports teaching, learning and research in LGBTQ+ Studies, and drives institutional change.
As you explore the Lafayette Queer Archives Project digital site, we hope you will remember that, regardless of where you go, it is vitally important that you’re here. Because when we recognize the Queer past, we make possible the Queer future.
