LGBT Oral History Project of North Florida, 2020-2022

 
Scope and content:

Includes digital audio recordings and transcripts of interviews conducted by the LGBT Oral History Project of North Florida.

The LGBT Oral History Project of North Florida is a volunteer-based public history collaboration between FSU honors undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty members, FSU Libraries, and participants from the north Florida LGBT community. The purpose of the project is to gather and preserve the life stories of LGBT people who have lived or are living in the north Florida region, and to make their stories available to the public and to scholars and researchers worldwide.

Starting in 2021, the Project additionally focused on the history of Naiad Press, a Tallahassee publisher of lesbian literature.
