Image description: The title reads “A Note on Archival Work.” The text reads “Archives can be an important way for people to feel connected to the past and establish a deeper sense of community and belonging. These clippings offer us valuable glimpses into the history of transmasculine parents, with the first being pregnant as early as 1956. That being said, some of the language used in these clippings is outdated and may be upsetting to some. Discretion is advised. Click on each clipping to zoom in and read.
