SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Unearthing\, Preserving\, and Promoting LGBTQ+ History in Maryland
DESCRIPTION:An 1870s lesbian gunslinger. Extravagant 1930s drag balls. Mass protests of the 1980s and 1990s. All are a part of our story. \nIn 2018\, Preservation Maryland engaged in a project to create the first comprehensive study of LGBTQ+ history and historic preservation across Maryland. In conducting the research for this project\, Ben Egerman was able to identify a wide array of places associated with LGBTQ+ history and create a number of resources to help those interested in the subject learn more about our communities’ rich and vibrant history in the state. \nSince then\, he has presented with another librarian and community elders on the subject of local LGBTQ+ history to audiences across the state\, as well as working with students\, artists\, and academics to promote and build awareness of Maryland’s LGBTQ+ past. \nThis talk will discuss these projects\, what they tell us about Maryland’s history\, and some of the difficulties in doing research in this area–all punctuated by amazing and eye-opening stories of LGBTQ+ people and life in the state stretching back nearly 200 years. \nBen Egerman (he/him) is a public librarian and researcher living in Baltimore. His work with Preservation Maryland on the Maryland LGBTQ Historic Context Study yielded a preliminary list of over 300 extant sites related to LGBTQ+ history in the state\, and has been recognized by the American Historical Association’s Committee on LGBT History\, who awarded the project the Allan Berube Prize for community history in early 2024. He has worked with a fellow librarian and two community elders to bring various stories from Maryland’s LGBTQ+ past to audiences in libraries across the state. He aims for his work to lie at the intersection of community building\, advocacy\, and public history. \nASL interpretation will be available for attendees. \nPresented in partnership with The Maryland State Archives and The Maryland Four Centuries Project. \n  \nRegistration not required\, but encouraged. Please register for the event here.

SUMMARY:Mountain Road Adventurer's Guild
DESCRIPTION:Program Type:  Games\, LGBTQIA+ Interest\n\n\nAudience: Teens (Ages 11+)\n\nThe five kingdoms are on the brink of war\, the realm is in chaos\, and Dame Peritchkova’s Academy of Speechcraft and Calligraphy is closed for the foreseeable future as the Dame themself has left for battle – leaving you without a graduation gala! As if that wasn’t enough\, the saboteur you’ve been chasing for the past several months has turned out to be Andrea\, your best friend’s betrothed\, and the evidence is ironclad that they are responsible for the chaos and strife unfolding across the continent. But you suspect all is not as it seems with your friend and there is more at work leading Vanda into peril. Guess you’ll just have to prove your friend’s innocence and save Vanda yourself\, won’t you? \nJoin us in an ongoing D&D campaign with an eye to inclusion and queer liberation. \nRegistration for this event will close on February 20\, 2025 @ 5:30pm. \nREGISTER HERE: Mountain Road Adventurer’s Guild | Anne Arundel County Public Library
