In this presentation, Julia, Janis and Eirini present on 2 LGBT history archiving efforts. The first is digitization of “Lesbian Nation,” a broadcast radio program from 1972-1974 created by Martha Shelley during the early years following the Stonewall Riots. The second is Gay Morning America, an morning TV program broadcast on public television during the early years of the AIDS epidemic. Both projects highlight challenges as well as opportunities to preserve and make accessible this broadcast content.
For this project, Micaela Walker obtained an orphaned set of 35mm slides from a junk store. The slides depict family photos from the mid / late 20th century and contained very little information to identify or describe them. Using strong research skills and following best practices, Ms. Walker successfully digitized and cataloged these images, effectively demonstrating what insights can be gleaned from anonymous, abandoned materials.
