The Duxbury Free Library is the recipient of an Expand Mass Stories Grant.
Mass Humanities announced that the library received a grant of $2,390 for South Shore LGBTQ Oral History Archive, which is described as “an inter-generational oral history project that aims to highlight the stories of LGBTQ elders on the South Shore of Massachusetts.”
The project seeks to capture the stories of older LGBTQ folks who have decades of knowledge and experience to share.
Organizers say the project hopes to connect LGBTQ teens to people in their own communities who have, “directly or indirectly, given them the rights that they have today.”
The Duxbury Free Library was one of 42 cultural nonprofit organizations across the Commonwealth to receive a grant.
