We’re #hiring. Know anyone who might be interested in processing LGBTQ+ collections in Boston, MA?

It's Pride Month and this year we’re celebrating the RADICAL act of supporting and preserving LGBTQIA+ stories. Today, we’re featuring the important work of The History Project, Boston's LGBTQIA+ archives, a volunteer-driven non-profit founded in 1980 that holds historical records and ephemera, supports LGBTQIA+ history research and shares that history through public exhibits and events.
