New Community History Project

The Virtual Teen Center and Odyssey Youth Center have partnered on a new community history project, Today and Yesterday: A Century of LGBT Faces in the Inland Northwest. The project, also known as QHP (Queer History Project) for short, is collecting and archiving this portion of local history with the help of the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.

Students interested in volunteering can receive training in gathering oral histories and digital archiving through an internship with Tincan.

We are also looking for elders willing to be interviewed about their experiences here in the Inland Northwest, specifically pictures and stories of LGBT people from the early half of the 20th century in and around Spokane, including any rural members of the community.
