Princeton LGBTQIA+ Oral History Project

Get to know the archive: Audio Shorts

As part of our LGBTQIA+ Oral History Project programming, we have created a series of audio shorts exploring various themes related to LGBTQIA+ experiences at Princeton. The audio shorts, along with their respective transcripts, are provided below.

The Princeton LGBTQIA+ Oral History Project has been an innovative and important project and repository that originated in the LGBT Center and is now managed by the staff and students in the Gender + Sexuality Resource Center (GSRC).

The Princeton LGBTQIA+ Oral History Project was launched in the summer of 2017 by former LGBT Center Director Judy Jarvis as a partnership between the LGBT Center, BTGALA/FFR, the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies and University Archives, with support from the Provost's Office's Princeton Histories Fund. During the summer, undergraduate and graduate students’ interview LGBTQIA+ alumni and current and former LGBTQIA+ staff and faculty to learn about their lives, their experiences being LGBTQIA+ (out and not out) at Princeton, and their perceptions of the climate for LGBTQIA+ people at Princeton across time.
