Queer Archives Project

Welcome: Queer Pasts, Queer Futures

Welcome to the digital humanities research site of the Queer Archives Project at Lafayette College!  On this site you can explore a selection of Queer Archives Project oral history interviews accompanied by themes, keywords, archival artifacts, and interpretive research. 

Grounded in the oral histories of LGBTQ+ alumni, faculty and staff from 1959 to 2017, this site allows you to engage with interviews (audio recordings + transcripts), explore Lafayette’s Queer history through primary sources (170+ archival objects, complete with metadata, exist on the site), 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.
