Preservation for 'Hidden Spaces': Working with LGBTQ+ Elders to Acquire, Process, Digitize, and Showcase Items on Queer Nightlife

Adam Beaty details his experiences as an MSLIS student independently leading two archival projects focused on LGBTQ materials: a digital collection named "Queer Nightlife in Champaign-Urbana, IL: 1973-2000", and a digital exhibit named "LGBTQ Spaces in Champaign County". Pat Cain, Archives Manager at the Champaign County Historical Archives at The Urbana Free Library, joins Adam to provide insight about supporting student projects in community archives.
