Rainbow History Project Abstract A summary of the resource. This is a collection of audio interviews and hundreds of photos taken within the ClubHouse that will allow researchers stories with some visual references especially when it comes to talking about those who did not survive the AIDS pandemic but who are in the photographs. The dozens of hours of audio interviews offer multiple African American Queer perspectives, stories, and observations made from owners, managers, DJs, employees, frequent guests, and certified members. These interviews will paint a fantastical picture of a Black LGBTQIA institution/space so full of joy, tragedy, love, community, pageantry, and Blackness just being allowed to be Black that the ClubHouse can easily said to be as important to Black LGBTQ history and culture as Ballroom is considered.
