In June of 2019, HC&A launched “Queering OHSU,” an exhibit focused
on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) history
of the institution. Dating back to the early 1900s, this history had
been largely undocumented in the archives’ holdings. Prior to the
exhibit opening, I reached out across the University community to gather
records that documented this history, conducted offsite research in
other local repositories, and oversaw the recording of three oral
history interviews on the topic of transgender health. Through these
efforts, I hoped to increase the archives’ holdings, uncover hidden
stories, and increase the visibility of the archives in new communities.
This article speaks to the work completed as part of the project and
subsequent outcomes, which include developing additional archival
holdings, making positive institutional connections, and bringing in a
small but thankful new audience to the archives."
