Meet the Chair in Transgender Studies team, and chat with us about the 10 Year Anniversary of the Transgender Archives and our exciting projects.
A BUTTON-SIZED PIECE OF HISTORY
Griffin Nesbitt, community member and TransChair supporter, designed a couple of unique (and super cute) buttons to celebrate Victoria Pride 2022! They are a button-sized piece of history for you to have, and which will be preserved in the Transgender Archives for future generations.
Come by our table and pick up your button-sized piece of history, while supplies last!
