Description: To help preserve the legacies left by earlier generations, artist E.G. Crichton selected 19 innovative LGBTQ artists, writers, and musicians to pair with deceased person whose personal artifacts are part of the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Historical Society archive. Including 25 pages of vivid images, Matchmaking in the Archive documents this remarkable creative project.
Review Quotes: "Matchmaking in the Archive connects today's artists and queer ancestors...After reading it, there is a certain and distinct pleasure in a time jump, in nonlinear thinking, in reaching back and forth across decades as though all people from all time, living and dead, are sitting at one table, sharing a meal, passing dishes round and round, sharing and tasting the same things together....If you have any interest in the history and lives of our LGBTQ ancestors, then, yes, this is a book I recommend for you."--Nico Hall "Autostraddle"
