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 community-based archive in the Eastern United States. It is entirely independent and run by and for trans people. We are planning for a physical location 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 donations page for more information, or feel free to contact us anytime! We’d love to support preserving your history, and the history of our community.
Stay tuned by signing up for occasional email updates.
