The history book about Magnus Hirschfeld's institute has arrived! A history book J. K. Rowling & anyone else erasing queer & trans history don't want you to know.

"The Digital Transgender Archive is an online hub for materials about trans people. It encompasses more than 20 public and private collections of documents, ephemera and memorabilia from gender nonconforming people in an attempt to make their history more visible."
