Queer Newark

The Queer Newark Oral History Project (QNOHP) is a community-based and community directed initiative dedicated to preserving the history of Queer Newark. Our aims include: Interview the full diversity of members of Newark’s LGBT community; Engage LGBT Newark youth in interviewing each other as well as LGBT adult Newark community; mentor LGBT Newark youth to ready them for career and higher education opportunities; Engage college and university students and faculty in interviewing, cataloging, transcribing, publicizing, organizing, or other tasks that will facilitate the growth of the QNOHP; Cement collaboration between Newark’s LGBT political, service, and faith organizations and Newark and Newark-area colleges and universities on the QNOHP; and Encourage LGBT Newark and former Newark residents to donate their papers and other artifacts to our growing collection of Queer Newark.
