This comprehensive book offers a wealth of effective tools to aid in the recovery of LGBTQIA historic material. It provides extensive glossary and non-glossary written descriptions, along with practical guidance on how to use these terms and phrases effectively in both online and offline searches.

Researching hidden and forbidden people from the past can be a challenging endeavor. The terminology used to write about LGBT+ individuals has evolved over time, and legal terminology often enforces specific terms that some writers choose to use while others avoid to avoid offending or disgusting a reading public. Often, written descriptions lack any set terminology altogether. How, then, can LGBT+ individuals be found in historic records?

This book offers practical tools for researchers seeking to uncover material from online or hard-copy sources. It covers keyword/s covering various sexual orientations and gender diversity, along with tips for effective searching in online newspaper archives, how to use genealogy, auction, and social media sites to uncover information, searching in online and physical libraries, advice on researching in physical archives, and the types of collections that can yield results.

The book is written in a straightforward and jargon-free style, making it accessible to a wide range of readers, including students and scholars in Archive Studies, History, Gender and Sexuality Studies. It serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the rich history and contributions of LGBTQIA individuals.
