Archiving Materials on the University of Washington Gender Identity Clinic

Project tags:

archives & special collections

equity & inclusion

social justice

In collaboration with UW PhD candidate, Os Keyes, and the University of Washington Libraries Special Collections, the Dayton/Hunt Collection preserves and provides access to materials about the University of Washington Gender Identity Clinic. By processing the physical and digital materials, creating a Google-indexed finding aid, and sharing news about the collection at a Special Collections Student Worker Poster Presentation event, future researchers will now have access to information on a foundational clinic in the history of transgender medicine. With this collection, people will learn that transgender people have been receiving gender-affirming medical care for decades within the United States.
