UWM archivist completes Milwaukee Transgender Oral History ProjectBy Aubree Omachinski | Posted on 16 April 2012.
http://www.uwmpost.com/2012/04/16/uwm-archivist-completes-milwaukee-transgender-oral-history-project/The UW-Milwaukee Archives Department has added a transgender-focused research piece to the LGBT collection. The Milwaukee Transgender Oral History Project is one of the first transgendered history projects completed in the area. Brice Smith completed the project for the archives department of the library.
Smith, who holds a doctorate in history, served as a teaching assistant for five years at UWM before being hired as a lecturer. He has taught classes focused on LGBT studies and also completed the biography of a Milwaukee "female-to-male" pioneer.
Smith was asked by the UWM Archives Department to complete the transgender project to supplement research already completed on the LGBT community.
