Since the beginning of the lesbian and gay archival movement of the 1970s, LGBTQ+ activists, archivists, and scholars around the world have produced hundreds of impactful LGBTQ+ archival and memory projects, many of them increasingly digital. Yet these projects are troubled at the intersection the queer, local, and digital past. For instance: many projects desiring queer pasts never begin due to the false belief that such histories can only be found in a few major urban centers or in projects that take a national or transnational perspective. Similarly: existing, under-resourced LGBTQ+ archives often prioritize well-known nationally impactful artifacts and narratives when selecting which of their holdings to digitize. Moreover: some local LGBTQ+ projects reject digital platforming as too expensive, too complex, and less effective at serving local audiences than other forms of exhibition. Despite these troubles, significant opportunities lie in embracing the queer/local/digital past. This talk explores these opportunities through the story of the Queer Memory Project of Northern Colorado (http://www.qmpnoco.org), an educational and community project aimed at discovering, preserving, and sharing the local LGBTQ+ past of the region.
