We’re honoured to share that The Pussy Palace Oral History Project has been named a 2026 Allan Bérubé Prize winner by the LGBTQ+ History Association.
The prize recognizes public and community-based LGBTQ+ history, and the committee praised the project’s commitment to radical history principles — documenting not only events, but embodied memory, affect, pleasure, and resistance.
Led by the LGBTQ Oral History Digital Collaboratory, this project could not have succeeded without the generosity and courage of those who shared their stories of the Pussy Palace and its legacy.
The LGBTQ Oral History Digital Collaboratory and The ArQuives accepts this recognition in the spirit of Allan Bérubé’s work: history that is accountable to community, grounded in lived experience, and committed to social justice.
