When you work in a bookstore and people ask you what you've been reading lately and you can't just say, oh you know just this million word epic about love and hope and Roman politics in an alternate, apocalyptic Kansas that necessitates you watching at least seven seasons of hit show supernatural, so you just say, oh nothing we have in stock unfortunately

The preservation of transgender history is essential to ensuring that the stories and experiences of trans people are not forgotten. The Digital Transgender Archive (DTA) has taken on the vital task of gathering and protecting this history, bringing together documents, images, and materials that reflect the rich and diverse experiences of transgender people across time and place.

By making these resources accessible, the DTA facilitates explorations of the often-hidden or erased narratives of trans communities. From personal stories to institutional records, these materials provide a window into the challenges and triumphs faced by trans individuals, while also celebrating the resilience and diversity of these communities.

Preserving this history is also about ensuring that future generations can learn, understand, and be inspired by the stories of those who came before them.

Explore more about how these efforts are safeguarding trans history, and why it matters, on JSTOR Daily.

Endverse Cas couldn't stop looking at past Dean in that meeting. He was amused and happy to see this Dean trying to defend them, but buried deep beneath all that... He was so worried.

Can't believe DTA Dean ever believed that Cas didn't care about him because he wasn't his Dean. Baby boy, he kept stealing glances at you every chance he got.
