ABOUT US

In recognition that the work of LGBTQ+ cultural heritage goes far beyond the work of preservationists, the Alliance invites community advocates, public historians, archivists, curators, planners, landscape architects, and anyone with interest to join us.

 

The Alliance formed out of a recommendation from the 2023 LGBTQ+ Historic Sites Focus Group, which inventoried projects and people furthering awareness of LGBTQ+ cultural heritage through the documentation and preservation of historic sites.

​

Facilitated by the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project, the Survey was commissioned to record and quantify LGBTQ+ place-based efforts across the nation. It identified the need for a centralized network where people can connect, facilitate conversations, share skills and challenges, develop partnerships, and advance and protect LGBTQ+ cultural heritage grounded in place-based history.
