Find Links to the books we recommend HERE.
Archival Links:
This page was designed to help you navigate the multitude of options available for
research into the history of the LGBTQIA+ community.
The list of queer archives is updated regularly as I discover more archival projects. If you are aware of a gay history project or resource that is not listed,
please contact me so that it can be added.
Another look into our gay history through the lens of our gay bars gone by.
GayBarchives is a combination of the words Gay, Bar and Archives.

State names that are underlined have their own collection due to the large number of designs available. Each listing contains some historical information regarding that bar, and there are links at the end of most listings directing you to additional information.
All other states are collectively grouped in one storefront until the number of designs for those states increases. *Wyoming has no listings at this time.
