They made similar pamphlets with the same subject matter in the mid 1930s for a new "socialist" party that popped up in the Weimar Republic... huh, funny that.

We run the risk of missing things that might be overlooked or not noticed on a cursory investigation. Which is why both the ensuring the accessibility and preservation of digital and traditional collections is so important.

I recently enrolled in Harvard University's Digital Humanities Program and the utility of physical works is really well highlighted in it. In digital humanities, our data is only as good as its fidelity, while there are certainly advantages to allowing digital access to collections (1/2)

That's Awesome, I am not familiar with this specific book, i will have to check it out. That said early queer iconography is just 🤌🏼 (some other examples from the archive)

Thanks for the reminder: Appologies that I will work to better remember this as accessibility is important.

Also, appologies for the atrocious spelling 😅

As for your other question, that is definitely a challenge, particularly with the wide range of everchanging vocabulary. The first step that I always like to work from is the implementation of internationally recognized linked data vocabulary. I am personally found of the "Homosaurous" set.

Definitely, It's a pleasure to meet you! My work is a little broad but is centered around recontextualizing "queer identity" within our understanding of history. I am working to show that every society without question had (and/or) has, have people that we view as LGBTQI+ through modern context.

Thank you!

I am looking to find a high quality immage of item no: 96739, the original text of a Hymn to Inanna. This tablet is one of the 1st written works with a named author and happens to describe the origins of the Gala priestesshood.

It's always nice to see open academic journals. I am working on a few research papers at the moment, I might just have to submit one.
