Event Description
This presentation will introduce the Digital Transgender Archive, an online hub for digitized historical materials, born-digital materials, and information on archival holdings globally relating to trans and gender non-normative individuals and practices. The presenter will discuss what items can be found on the DTA and how we determine what to add to our collection, how those items are organized, and suggestions for how to navigate the site and the additional resources it provides. Additionally, drawing on both his own experience working at the DTA and as a researcher working with items on the DTA, he will discuss suggestions for interacting with the DTA as a researcher.
