research and learning
Below is a list of some of the resources, books, articles, etc. that we found helpful when researching for this podcast. There is a plethora of knowledge and D.C. history documented for everyone to dive into. Some great organizations/platforms for overall Queer D.C. history, include the Rainbow History Project, the D.C. History Center, the DC Public Library and People’s Archive, and Dig DC.
We know that the list above and below is just the tip of the iceberg, and we hope y’all find new books, articles, photos, and everything in between to further catalog and keep D.C. Queer history alive! Find something super interesting and want to share? Email us at qtdp@queeringthedistrictpodcast.com.
