Selections from LGBT Center of Central PA History Project displayed at Dickinson
Dickinson will host an opening reception to celebrate “History Comes Out,” an exhibition of artifacts and archival documents from the LGBT Center of Central PA History Project, on Sunday, Oct. 11 (Waidner-Spahr Library’s main level, 1:30-3:30 p.m.). Carlisle Mayor Tim Scott will present remarks.
The LGBT Center of Central PA and the Dickinson Archives & Special Collections are collaborating to collect original documents that depict stories of LGBT history in Central Pennsylvania, as told by those who lived it. The documents include written accounts, video interviews, photographs and artifacts that illustrate and support those stories. The exhibition, which runs Oct. 1 to Oct. 31, highlights materials related to the impact of HIV/AIDS on the Central Pennsylvania region.
Exhibition hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, email archives@dickinson.edu or call 717-245-1399.
