Throughout history, attempts to erase LGBTQ+ lives have often started with the destruction of information about them. Yet, we have always found ways to endure and preserve our stories. When physical spaces are threatened, we create new ones. When our history is erased from bookshelves, we safeguard it through community archives. And now, as resources are wiped from federal websites, we rebuild, we reclaim, and we preserve. We refuse to let history repeat itself.

This site is an independent effort to preserve and make accessible the critical information and resources for LGBTQ+ health, legal rights, and safety originally hosted on now-defunct federal websites. The content on this site has been reproduced for historical and educational purposes to ensure that the research, protections, and community resources that once existed remain accessible to those who need them. This site is not affiliated with nor endorsed by any government agency. The information presented may no longer reflect current government policies or research priorities, but we believe in making it available so that our community can continue to access the knowledge that was once publicly offered.

This archive is a living project, growing and evolving as new materials are uncovered and shared. If you know of a missing document, defunct link, or resource that once lived on a federal site, we invite you to submit it here.

Knowledge is survival. Access is power. And our history is not anyone’s to erase.
