Digital Transgender Archive: https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/

​

Sometimes it can feel like the world wants to pretend the transgender community is some brand new phenomenon, like queer and trans folks are a new 21st century trend. Uh, no. Actually, the transgender community has an incredibly rich and powerful history, and projects like the Digital Transgender Archive are working hard to ensure that history is available for people to connect with and learn from. DTA uses the term transgender to refer to “a broad and inclusive range of non-normative gender practices” and works as a single search engine for primary sources from digitized, digital-native, and independent archive projects around the world.

Check out My Prairie Home by Chelsea McMullan, a documentary-musical, Pay It No Mind, about the amazing trans-activist Marsha P. Johnson, and Rituals for Change, about rituals for change and gender transition.

They’ve compiled an extensive list of non-fiction books, fiction books, articles, documentaries, and websites about and for the transgender community. Note that this resource was put together in 2008, so you’ll want to look elsewhere for newer releases, but otherwise the TRANScending Identities Bibliography is a solid place to start.
