Androgyny Library Guide: Archival Scholars Research Award (Pitt)


Tracing Non-Binary Identities In The Archives

This Library Guide seeks to frame the history of non-binary identities in the archives using queer, androgynous, and gender non-conforming texts found in Archives & Special Collections at the University of Pittsburgh Library System. Non-binary identities exist under the umbrella of transgender identities, but the history of non-binary identities lives both outside of and within transgender history. In the archives, non-binary moments can be found through discussions of gender on political and social levels. The identity as we understand it today has taken different shapes within archival publications. Examples of non-binary before non-binary thread lines can be found below.
