Trans Archive Salon (Brown University Library and Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women)
Date and Time
Location
In the spirit of community, connection, and creative collaboration, we invite you to join us Wednesday, April 9, 2025 from 4 to 6 p.m. for a Trans Archive Salon on the third floor of the John Hay Library.
We’ll gather together to
- explore highlights from these collections hands-on,
- hear from a panel of archivists, community organizers, and researchers about their current work and future visions for trans and gender-diverse archival collections, and
- build communities of solidarity and support for exploring, researching, creating, and sustaining these crucially important collections.
The event will be followed by a reception, where we will collectively celebrate the cultivation of trans joy and resistance in the archives and the magic of community memory and storytelling as necessary tools for the times ahead. Refreshments will be served!
This hybrid event is open to current Brown ID holders in person. Attendance on Zoom is open to all. Registration is required.
Sponsored by the Brown University Library, the John Nicholas Brown Center, the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women, and the LGBTQ Center.
Participants
The panel discussion will be moderated by Janaya Kizzie, Processing Archivist at the John Hay Library.
