Launched in January 2019, we are a cultural heritage repository for LGBTQIA+ oral histories and physical artifacts (e.g., PRIDE festival paraphernalia, travel scrapbooks, reader-written periodicals, T-shirts, buttons, and more). With the help of community volunteers and research students, Western North Carolina LGBTQIA+ Archive is home to over 120 oral history interviews and thousands of images related to queer history of the South. We host community training workshops, public history and humanities exhibitions, and storytelling circles.
