Explore two digital public history projects that aid in visualizing LGBTQ history in America with Dr. Eric Gonzaba, Assistant Professor of American Studies at Cal State Fullerton.

"Mapping the Gay Guides" is an interactive map that pins locations from twenty years of Bob Damron's Address Books, popular guides for gay travelers across the United States. "Wearing Gay History" exhibits t-shirt collections from archives around the world, displaying shirts used for both protest or pride.

He’s the founder of Wearing Gay History and co-founder of Mapping the Gay Guides, two award winning LGBTQ digital history projects.
