Open Access Journals
Many scholarly journals focused on LGBTQ Studies are not published in an open access format. This means that their content is hidden behind a paywall, for those not affiliated with a university or other institution. The publications below are entirely open access, so their full contents are available online.
Open Gender Journal – Germany
Canadian Online Journal of Queer Studies in Education – Canada
Online Exhibits
Digital exhibits can be a great way to illuminate content that is typically hidden in physical archives. LGBTQ materials are more likely to be held in a broad variety of institutions, lacking the meaningful context required to bring them fully to life.
