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, particularly their experiences being LGBTQIA (out and not out) at Princeton, and their perceptions of the climate for LGBTQIA people at Princeton across time.
