The La Guardia and Wagner Archives will be closed to researchers beginning June 2nd and plans to reopen on July 28th, while we relocate our Offices and Collections to LaGuardia Community College’s C-Building, 7th Floor. There will be no onsite research permitted, nor reproduction of photographs or other media, during this period.

We are the CUNY LGBTQIA+ Consortium, and we are changing the face of CUNY and NYC. Our mission is not only to preserve LGBTQIA+ history, but to make it!

We facilitate the archiving of LGBTQIA+ history across New York, and we support LGBTQIA+ training, education, and programming.

The CUNY LGBTQIA+ Consortium began in the borough of Queens in 2017, and since that time we have expanded across all 5 boroughs. Currently there are 24 participating campuses, but we are still growing!

If you want to support our efforts, get involved, or inquire about joining the consortium, please email Director Dr. Allie Brashears at jbrashears@lagcc.cuny.edu or Associate Director JC Carlson at JC.Carlson@qc.cuny.edu.

Please click on the SoundCloud file below to hear Allie and JC talk to Tanya Domi of the Graduate Center's Thought Podcast about the Consortium.
