LGBTQ+ Oral History Collection
Content Description
The LGBTQ+ Oral History Collection is the home for 52 oral history interviews conducted with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, and asexual individuals from various communities with a focus on those with a connection to Omaha, Nebraska. The interviews were consciously collected to be part of UNO’s Queer Omaha Archives. Interviews as of 2020 are all audio recordings and include community members and UNO faculty. Interviews to date have been conducted by UNO professor Jay Irwin, UNO archivist Amy Schindler, UNO students in Dr. Jay Irwin’s Fall 2016 Introduction to LGBT Studies course, and UNO Libraries oral history associate for the Queer Omaha Archives Luke Wegener (2017-2020). Completed interviews available to the public are available online at https://repository.unomaha.edu/islandora/object/unomaha%3Aqoa11?page=1. Contact UNO Libraries' Archives and Special Collections regarding potential access to those interviews not yet available online.
