"Sharing Our Voices: A Celebration of the Virginia Tech LGBTQ Oral History Project," will feature archives, interviews, images, films, and a new web archive highlighting LGBTQ history.

The University Archives of the University Libraries began an archive at the request of the Ex Lapide Alumni Society, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer alumni network at Virginia Tech, which sought to document the history of the LGBTQ experience at Virginia Tech.

Beginning in the fall of 2014, David Cline, assistant professor of history and director of the Graduate Certificate in Public History, and his students began collecting oral histories to document LGBTQ life in the south during the 20th century, specifically at Virginia Tech.

The exhibit will showcase digital screens with materials related to the project and to the interviewees for the oral history project, the new web archive, materials from the LGBTQ history at Virginia Tech timeline, and a display in Special Collections.
