The LGBTQuarantine Archive Project was inspired by rapid response collecting efforts throughout the library and archival community to document the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on people’s lives. The project was launched in April, 2020, and any LGBTQ-identified person with a connection to New York was invited to contribute. Works submitted were created during the pandemic, many in direct response to it. A trio of online exhibits highlighting select contributions was launched in July, 2020 on The Center’s Google Arts & Culture page, to share the collection and to raise awareness of the project.
