LGBTQ+ people have always been part of Massachusetts’ history. 


Join Joan Ilacqua, Executive Director of The History Project, for a presentation and conversation exploring the history of LGBTQ+ people, community, organizing, and change in Massachusetts. 


Drawing on sources like court cases, diaries, letters, photographs, videos, oral histories, and more, Ilacqua will take you through over 400 years of history from the Puritans to LGBTQ+ marchers in the St. Patrick's Day Parade, in just one hour!


Joan Ilacqua is the Executive Director of The History Project. She is a member of the Massachusetts State Historic Records Advisory Board and the Boston Commemoration Commission. She is a graduate of UMass Boston’s Public History master’s program and her background is in oral history and advocacy. In her spare time, Joan likes to read queer romance novels and design subversive cross-stitch patterns.


The History Project is Boston's LGBTQ+ community archives. A 501(c)3 organization founded in 1980 by archivists, activists, and historians, The History Project documents, preserves, and shares LGBTQ+ history. Learn more at www.historyproject.org.
