Title

We've Been Here Since 1844: Queer History At SMC

Description

Students in HIST 392: Doing History: Oral and Public History researched college archival documents and engaged in oral history interviewing before curating an exhibit on the college's queer history. The Doing History course is aimed at familiarizing students with what historians do to tell stories: from finding excellent primary sources to creating a visual culture analysis, along with contributing to an original oral history project stored at a local archive.

This project was exhibited in the Cushwa-Leighton Library on April 27th 2023.
