The History of the LGBTQ+ Community at NMU
This fall semester’s Evening at the Archives features Katarina Rothhorn, NMU student and North Wind managing editor. Ms. Rothhorn spent much of the last academic year conducting an oral history project of eleven LGBTQIA+ NMU alumni living around the country. The Central Upper Peninsula and NMU Archives has published the oral histories and their written transcripts via the Upper Peninsula Digital Network (UPLINK). Ms. Rothhorn will discuss the scope and conclusions of her research on the history of the LGBTQIA+ history at NMU.
Evening at the Archives is a semi-annual event showcasing research conducted at the Central Upper Peninsula and NMU Archives. These events are an opportunity for students and the general public to visit the Archives and enjoy presentations and workshops on archival and historical topics. It is free to attend and refreshments are provided!
