Abstract
This panel discusses how the Texas A&M University Cushing Memorial Library and Archives continues to focus on community engagement and social justice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Presenters will focus on engagement with LGBTQIA+ communities to preserve and showcase their histories, discussing a very successful collaborative exhibition (2021) and collection building and representation at the Cushing Library. This panel aims at raising awareness of the importance of documenting history through the eyes of those who lived it in first person. Attendees will be able to learn new strategies or compare their own actions and environments to those discussed in this panel.
