Going to a talk with a panel of queer librarians and archivists today. Going to make very big, wet eyes at the head archivist and ask if she needs volunteers to help sort the backlog of queer history materials that I have been told exists at the local museum.
Me during the q&a section: "I've always wanted to do archival work, but I dropped out of university and had a lot of academic doors close on me. How can I get involved?"
Every single archivist on the panel: *laser eyes activated* What you're gonna do is come get our contact info after the panel. We need volunteers soooo bad.
SUCCESS.
I left with five different people's contact info and a lead on an internship opportunity. Go to the events at your local library if you can, my friends. 🥰
