Join us for a Volunteer Open House

Join us Tuesday, June 16 at 29 Stanhope Street in Boston from 5:30-7:30 for a Volunteer Open House. Now's the time to share your expertise and knowledge - whether by planning events, helping make collections accessible, painting the office, interviewing an important member of the community, or simply stuffing an envelope or two (hundred). Find out what happens behind the scenes at The History Project and how you can be a part of our ongoing mission to document, preserve, and share the history of Boston's LGBT communities.

Board members will be present to answer questions about what we do and how you can help. Refreshments and snacks will be served.

Please RSVP by calling 617.266.7733 or by emailing info@historyproject.org. We look forward to seeing you!

 



Help The History Project launch
our new Transgender Project.

Join THP as we embark on a new initiative focused on recounting the history of Boston's transgender community. As with our past exhibits, we want the community to take ownership of the exhibit and guide us in determining its content.

To find out how you can become involved, contact Andrew Elder, THP's Operations Coordinator, at 617.266.7733 or at andrew.elder@historyproject.org.


Sponsored in part by a grant from JSI.
