Make Berkshire History Queer!

Welcome to the Berkshire Stonewall Queer History Project! The Queer History Project is locally focused on Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Our areas of interest include stories, media, artifacts, and other evidence of the rich queer history that has taken place in our beautiful, artistic region.

Currently, our primary project is interviewing LGBT+ people who either live in or have spent a formative amount of time in the Berkshires. This project is planned to be released to the public, but other future options may include delayed release, anonymous – audio only, and other potential methods to protect the privacy of members of the community during their lifetime.

We are raising money for A/V and computer equipment, software, storage costs and more. We already have about ten interviews, and some interviews can take up to six gigabits of storage! We will have ongoing storage, editing, and transcription work and costs. Your support will help ensure the longevity of this project!
