This book provides a number of effective tools to aid in the
recovery of LGBTQIA historic material by providing extensive
glossary and non-glossary written descriptions, and how to use
those terms and phrases in searching effectively online and
offline. Researching hidden and forbidden people from the past can
be extremely difficult. Terminology used to write about LGBT+
people shifts over time, legal terminology enforces certain set
terms which some writers use but others reject to avoid informing
or disgusting a reading public. Often written descriptions contain
no set terminology at all. How then can LGBT+ people be found in
historic records? This book provides practical tools for a
researcher wanting to uncover material from online or hard copy
sources, including: keyword/s covering various sexual orientations
and gender diversity, along with how and when to use them; tips for
effective searching in online newspaper archives; how to use
genealogy, auction and social media sites to uncover information;
searching in online and physical libraries; advice on researching
in physical archives and the types of collections which can yield
results; and researching in museums collecting and displaying LGBT+
content. Making use of a straightforward and jargon free style,
this is a short and accessible guide to doing historical research
on Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Queer and non-normative research subjects.
This is a useful resource for students and scholars alike in
Archive Studies History, Gender and Sexuality Studies.
