Abstract

Abstract The authors compare the prevalence of LGBTQIA identities in the general public and particularly in the museum workforce with the lack of funding for exhibitions and programming around LGBTQIA topics, especially in small museums. They investigate historical research in Curator’s archives to understand how museums have handled subjects considered politically or culturally challenging, and the ramifications for funding of these projects. By looking to present‐day examples of historical house museums, the article draws attention to the creative community organizing approaches to fundraising that can increase representation of LGBTQIA people and cultures.
