Are you an artist, performer, writer or other creator who wants to engage with LGBTQ archival material in your work? The staff of the GLBT Historical Society’s Dr. John P. De Cecco Archives & Special Collections invites you to a virtual event on October 24th at 6pm PST. We’ll discuss how you can search our extensive collections, including digitized photographs, activist newsletters, oral histories, paintings, drag, and other materials, for your next project. We’ll also answer common questions about copyright, reproductions, and licensing. This event will give you the tools to incorporate historical material into your creative work.
This is the first of two public events. The second event will focus on archives for educators. This event series is supported by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library.
