Rescued from Erasure: An LGBTQ+ Boston Audio Tour Returns

Queer History is American History, and American History Belongs to the People.

Earlier this year, the National Park Service removed "Their Dreams, Their Rights, and Their Love," an LGBTQ+ audio tour of Beacon Hill and Downtown Boston, from its website.

While the National Park Service under the direction of the Trump Administration can decide what to display on their website, this tour belongs to the public - not the politicians.
Work created by government employees in their official roles is public domain, and should be available to our community as we continue to fight for visibility, truth, and joy.

The History Project exists to document, preserve, and share queer and trans stories; our work is especially vital when institutions fail to protect or respect our history.

We've made this tour accessible again, and we invite you to walk through queer and trans history in resistance against those who want to erase us.

Since 1980, The History Project has been dedicated to documenting, preserving, and sharing Boston's LGBTQ+ past and making it accessible to all. As we mark our 45th anniversary, your support keeps our mission alive—funding archival preservation, programming, oral history projects, and more.
