Missing stories: the lgbtq+ community in boston's west end [missing stories: the lgbtq+ community in boston's west end aims to have the west end museum partner with community experts to complete a thorough study of local archival collections that are likely to contain information on the lgbtq+ history of boston?s west end neighborhood. Using this research, the museum will produce a public exhibit sharing the west end?s lgbtq+ history with west end residents and the larger boston community, and produce complementary educational programming including a walking tour and talks. Research materials gathered during this project will be organized and filed within the west end museum?s research files, part of its archival collections, and will be available for further use both by the museum and the public. Additionally, findings from this project will result in permanent inclusion of lgbtq+ persons within WEM?s exhibits, walking tours, and website, expanding its ability to tell the stories of the entire west end community.]
