Meet Mik Hamilton ’24MS ’24MA, the archivist for The History Project: Documenting LGBTQ Boston (also known as Q***r History Boston). This community archive is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the rich LGBTQ+ histories of Boston and New England.
“My work is to address the gaps that can be left by institutions, and we try to be community-grounded and volunteer-driven, really accessible and responsive,” Hamilton says. “We do a lot of community collaborations, and we try to uplift stories that haven’t always been told.”
Hamilton's interest in lesser-known histories and untold stories made the library and information science: archives management (MS) and history (MA) at Simmons SLIS an obvious choice.
“There are so many cultural heritage institutions [in the Boston area] to make connections with, and I was impressed by the dual degree program,” says Hamilton. “It made me a well-rounded and prepared archivist and historian.”
