LGBTQI+ Elders of the Central Coast
(2019-2021)
This project consists of high-quality video interviews that recover the complex experiences and histories of LGBTQI+ elders living on the California Central Coast. These stories are not representative of the queer and trans lives of our region, but they do provide some insight into their rich history. This project was completed with the support in part of the California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
(2006, 2018-2020)
In 2006, members of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of the Central Coast (since renamed the GALA Pride and Diversity Center) conducted interviews with a number of LGBTQI+ elders living in the area. These video interviews were then shelved. In 2019, the CCQAP obtained rights to the interviews and has since been working to make them available to public.
