Panel | LGBTQ+ in Print

With Charlotte Priddle, Dr. Miranda Garno Rossa, Elyssa Maxx Goodman, & Chris Hammer

How have members of the LGBTQ+ community, throughout centuries, left record on the printed or handwritten page, or glaring absences? Where do we look today for their traces, and what are best practices for interpretation? A panel of experts including Charlotte Priddle, Director of NYU Special Collections; librarian/book dealer/scholar Gwendolyn Reese; Dr. Miranda Garno Rossa, proprietor of Marginalia Rare Books in California; and Elyssa Maxx Goodman, author of Glitter and Concrete: A Cultural History of Drag in New York City (and a contributor to including The New York Times, Vogue, and Vanity Fair) will explore how they identify, place, and preserve the physical materials that foster research and publications in this realm. The program will be moderated by Chris Hammer, Grolier Club member, historian, archivist, and scholar of 1950s-’90s queer literature.
