"A digital transgender archive was launched Thursday at the College of The Holy Cross, a compendium of historic documents, oral-history transcripts, photographs, and newsletters from years past. Organizers believe it is the first time such a trove of transgender-related digital material has been available.

The archive materials have been gathered from 13 collaborating institutions, with eight more poised to donate in the coming months. Seven are universities and include Harvard, Cornell, the University of Victoria, and the University of Michigan. "

Pretty amazing for a religious school. I don't know much about Holy Cross except the name, but the mere fact of a Christian university giving us legitimacy is news in itself.

I went to Loyola in Chicago and they wouldn't let the gay students have an organization. That was awhile ago though so it might have changed.

Here's the link if anybody is interested in perusing the archives. Lot's of stuff. Will have to check it out after work.
