LGBTQ Columbia History Initiative
Historic Columbia, in a partnership with South Caroliniana Library and UofSC’s Department of Oral History, created the LGBTQ Columbia History Initiative.
This interactive project documents the often unseen and untold stories of the LGBTQ+ group through the creation and dissemination of oral histories, historic site interpretation, and archival collections, including:
- A website with more than 35 oral histories from Columbia’s LGBTQIA+ community, featuring the stories of participants covering all ages, races, sexual orientations and gender identities.

- The fully processed South Carolina Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Collection at South Caroliniana Library, UofSC
