Second Tuesday- Documenting LGBT History: A Presentation by the Co-directors of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project

Documenting LGBT History: A Presentation by the Co-directors of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project Andrew S. Dolkart, Ken Lustbader, Jay Shockley and Amanda Davis, the co-directors and project manager of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project, will discuss the project’s survey of historic sites, the importance of preserving LGBT historic sites and preview the soon to come nyclgbtsites.org. The NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project will document locations in all five boroughs to identify important historical and cultural sites and events, and prevent threatened sites from disappearing. The survey will include clubs, bars, restaurants, theaters and performance venues, residences of LGBT notables, spaces where civil rights and organizational events took place as well as works of art and architecture. This project is partly funded by the federal government to document and preserve LGBT history in NYC. Made possible by a grant from The Kors Le Pere Foundation.
