BROWSE BY LOCATION NAME

We invite you to browse archival material from the Special Collections by location name, sorted by their respective municipality. Although we have categorized Appalachian State University as a separate entity for organization's sake, it is important to keep in mind that the University is not separated from its community. We have created a profile for each location, combining our research to highlight how that space facilitated important history and culture for local LGBTQ+ communities and individuals. In some instances, a single structure has witnessed or played an active role in multiple narratives. Each location profile includes relevant archival material to illustrate these stories.
