Blueboy® Archives & Cultural Arts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.  

​

We are committed to the preservation and promotion of Blueboy® magazine archives and the works of other historic LGBTQIA+ periodicals, artwork, newspapers, literary works, films and ephemera.

​​

Our mission is to collect, preserve and maintain these archives for historical, educational, and research purposes.

 

BACAF research includes contextualizing Blueboy® within LGBTQIA+ history and reimagining the publication for a contemporary audience.  Other collections we maintain are sought out for their subject matter as they pertain to performance of gender, sexuality, media, and identity.

 

We partner with various LGBTQIA+ communities to intimately record their histories, stories, and achievements.  Through oral history, storytelling, recorded media, and exhibits — their archives offer an insight into the lives, movements, and social gatherings that shape their communities.
