Each episode of Unboxing Queer History focuses on a different collection that was donated to the Gerber/Hart Library and Archives in Rogers Park. They range from profiling Miss Tillie, the “Dirty Old Lady of Chicago,” to the creators of Amigas Latinas.

Reset talks with two of the people involved in making this podcast about what these collections can teach us about queer history.

GUESTS: Ariel Mejia, senior producer of Unboxing Queer History

Jen Dentel, Programming & Social Media Coordinator at Gerber/Hart
