Webinar Description
Planned in 2019 and launched during the pandemic, the LGBTQ Columbia History Initiative documents the diverse perspectives of Columbia, South Carolina’s LGBTQ community, past and present. The initiative, led by Historic Columbia and in consultation with a steering committee of community members, will unveil a 30-interview oral history collection, LGBTQ Periodicals digital collection, and an ArcGIS StoryMaps collection later this fall. This webinar shares how Historic Columbia builds relationships with historically marginalized communities and collaborates with other institutions to create permanent and easily accessible resources.
Learning Outcomes
- The importance of diverse voices within an oral history collection
- Advice on researching LGBTQ history
- How to build a similar initiative in your city or county
