📝🌈 Join BMC on July 24 for “Q***ring Our Anabaptist Archive,” a 45-min virtual gathering to learn more about our donation of BMC's archive to the Tretter Collection for GLBT Studies. Why is this so exciting, not just for historians and archivists but for lgbtqia+ people and faith communities at large? We will tell you why!

We’ll share details and photos from BMC's archival process, offer exciting ways to engage this living archive, and discuss how q***r and trans archival work is a crucial part of activism today. Bring your questions and curiosities for the Q&A! Register for this virtual event here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrd-qhpzsiGdKwWEBPmJGOlvA6V-EToE5p
