Hi Hannah, I'm super impressed with your page. I think it's the first one I've seen that's gotten as far as adding images and video onto the page. Well done! The intricacies of this topic make it interesting and tricky and I think you're doing really well tackling it so far. I really appreciated that your start off by talking about terminology and contextualizing the complexity of any kind of labeling here. I wonder if you've thought about including any links to subject specific LGBTQ archives? I think it's telling that we're at a point now where an LGBTQ archive can focus on, for example because it's the the I thought of, LGBTQ people and religion, like in the LGBT Religious Archives Network. I also wonder, sort of going off what Amy said, if you're going to mention more intellectually constructed archives. Again, like the LGBT RAN--projects that identify LGBTQ material across many archives and gather their information digitally or intellectually in one place to create an archive that is a safe space for those records. Either way, really interesting topic and obviously there's a ton to say about it. Looking forward to seeing your page develop! Best, Allison

Hi Allison,

Thanks for your comments and compliments! I haven't come across any more subject specific LGBTQ archives other than those I have already listed and linked to (like rukus!). I didn't provide a link to LGBT Religious Archives Network as I am mainly focusing on archives, not resources or archive projects, but I will include a section titled "LGBTQ Archive Projects", so thanks for your recommendation.

Hannah
