Panel Discussion: Celebrating the Library’s LGBTQ+ Hudson History Archive

In collaboration with OutHudson, we are celebrating the library’s new and ongoing LGBTQ+ archive. This collection, much of it consisting of oral histories of local residents who identify as LGBTQ+, has been developed in the past year. The program, curated by Jasper Francis, features clips from the oral histories that have been recently completed. The library is looking for donations (or loans to digitize) of photographs, video, art, documents, ephemera, and memorabilia on Hudson’s vital queer history. All are welcome to attend, learn more, and engage as a community.

Date/Time: Thursday, June 12, 6 – 7:30pm

Location: In person, Hudson Area Library Community Room

Registration: No registration required.

Interviews for the library’s LGBTQ+ focused portion of the Hudson Area Library Oral History Project collection (https://oralhistory.hudsonarealibrary.org/) were recorded in collaboration with OutHudson and with support from The Spark of Hudson and John Schobel and the Poke the Bear Foundation in honor of Rich “Trixie” Volo.
