In the news: A wealth of transgender history

July 1, 2025

We hold one of the largest collections of trans history in the country. In 2000, Julie Herrada, curator of the (broader) Labadie Collection submitted a proposal to acquire the National Transgender Library and Archives.

“I felt like it would be intellectually secure there, and it wouldn’t be reinterpreted as a gay and lesbian history instead of a trans history.” — Dallas Denny

Read in the Michigan Advance, Within the halls of U of M’s Hatcher Library, a wealth of transgender history.
