About LGBT History Project Resources
The LGBT Center of Central PA and the Dickinson College Archives and Special Collections have partnered to document the stories and history of LGBT life and activism in Central PA.
This site contains fully accessible digital versions of many documents, images, artifacts, and oral histories that have been donated to the LGBT History Project.
This is a very quickly growing collection, and not all items are available on this site. Contact Malinda Triller-Doran at archives@dickinson.edu for information about how to access materials in this collection.
