Welcome to the NYC Trans Archives! The NYC Trans Archives (NYCTA) is dedicated to preserving transgender culture in the New York City region and beyond. Founded in 2023, NYCTA is the first and only trans-specific full-service archive in the Eastern United States. It is entirely independent and run by and for trans people. Our physical location will open in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, Lenapehoking in 2026 with archival storage facilities located in New Jersey.
We are actively seeking donations of materials by and about trans lives. See our acquisitions and donations pages for more information. Stay tuned by signing up for occasional email updates.
