About this Event
How have members of the LGBTQ+ community, throughout centuries, left record on the printed or handwritten page, or glaring absences? Where do we look today for their traces, and what are best practices for interpretation? A panel of experts including Charlotte Priddle, Director of NYU Special Collections; librarian/book dealer/scholar Gwendolyn Reese; Dr. Miranda Garno Rossa, proprietor of Marginalia Rare Books in California; and Elyssa Maxx Goodman, author of Glitter and Concrete: A Cultural History of Drag in New York City (and a contributor to including The New York Times, Vogue, and Vanity Fair) will explore how they identify, place, and preserve the physical materials that foster research and publications in this realm. The program will be moderated by Chris Hammer, Grolier Club member, historian, archivist, and scholar of 1950s-'90s queer literature.

We appreciate your interest in the Grolier Club’s programming on the art and history of the book. For over 130 years we have offered our exhibitions and lectures to the public, free of charge.

Accessibility
An ADA-compliant lift from street level to the lobby is available to anyone with mobility issues. All desk staff should be ready and able to assist you in operating the lift, with or without advance notice.
A “T-Coil” assisted listening system is available to anyone attending a lecture in the Exhibition Hall. Visitors with hearing aids should turn their devices to the “T” setting in order to access the system; visitors without hearing aids may request a “loop receiver” with earphones.
Environment
The temperature and humidity in the exhibition hall are tightly controlled for the sake of the valuable items on display, and this may cause the room to feel chilly, particularly in warmer weather, to those coming in from outside. Members and visitors are advised to bring a light wrap when visiting an exhibition, or attending an event in the hall.
