At Monadnock, we often work with various digital and physical archives when producing our interactives and video programs. Media archives play a major role in how we approach history and develop stories.
This Pride month, check out the Digital Transgender Archive--an online collection of pre-2000 archival materials related to global transgender history. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, this organization is dedicated to increasing the accessibility of transgender history by providing a source for historical photographs, newspaper clippings, oral histories, leaflets, films, ephemera, and information regarding archival holdings around the world.
These are just a few of the images found within this vast archive, which beautifully chronicles the rich history of the trans community. Looking through the collections that depict the lives of the people that are pictured here is a very moving experience. It's incredible to see the love and community and the breadth of diverse experiences that define the trans community so carefully preserved.
Happy Pride!
