Who donates to The ArQuives?

YOU DO! We are interested in preserving the records and legacy of LGBTQ2+ stories and lives, and we welcome your legacy to become part of ours. We recognize that the LGBTQ2+ community is rich and complex, and we especially welcome stories from those that have not traditionally seen themselves reflected in The ArQuives collection.

We need you now more than ever.

Interested in donating?

Our collecting interests include, but are not necessarily limited to: personal and organizational records, books, periodicals, love letters, journals, visual art, newspapers, photographic materials, audio/visual materials, clothes, costumes, sex toys, broadsides, posters, flyers, artifacts, and electronic media. Material in any format may be donated as long as it can be accommodated and preserved.
