Research Roundtable | We’re Here! Preserving Columbia’s LGBTQ+ Stories

Free for HC Members
$10 for Non-Members

Register

Join Katharine Allen, Director of Research, for a presentation highlighting the joys and challenges of documenting the often unseen and unheard stories of Columbia’s LGBTQ+ citizens. In addition to sharing the project’s first-year accomplishments and newly available resources, Allen will walk participants through how to research specific sites and events using two contrasting case studies: the building that once stood at 1232 Assembly Street (Our Place) and the Queer Nation protest at Cracker Barrel.

To learn more about the LGBTQ Columbia History Initiative and how you can support the next phase of our work, visit: https://www.historiccolumbia.org/lgbtq-columbia 

The virtual Research Roundtable will be held online via Zoom. Upon registering, you'll receive an email with the web link to the program.
