New York State History is rich in stories of LGBTQ+ individuals, their accomplishments, and the fight for equality. Until recently though, these stories were drastically underrepresented in the New York State Museum’s collections. Join NYS senior historian Ashley Hopkins-Benton to learn about the LGBTQ+ artifacts the Museum currently has, the hidden stories we have coaxed out of our collection, and how we will work to grow the collection in the future.
