- Scope & content
- The interviews in this collection were donated by QMUNITY, British Columbia's largest LGBTQ community centre, located in Vancouver. The collection here consists of the interviews conducted as part of a project called Stories of Older Queers: Videography and Archives of Queer Elder Experiences that contain lesbian and queer women's content. The project was conducted by QMUNITY's Generations program, which offers services to LGBTQ adults 55+ to address their specific needs. Stories of Older Queers creates a collection of video interviews and still pictures chronicling the experiences - good and bad - of older lesbian-gay-bisexual-transfolk before these pioneers' voices are stilled. The project seeks to recognize the skills and experiences of older LGBTQ adults in successfully navigating a homophobic world and provide a platform for sharing their accumulated wisdom. By recording their experience in a welcoming, non-judgmental environment, queer seniors’ histories have been preserved for future generations of researchers, students, historians, and others interested in the stories of older queers.
