“And once more, diary, I’ve filled you with all the honest-to-God truths. This is me. This is my mind and my life in my own words. This is me becoming a human being.”
Lou Sullivan (1965)

Lou Sullivan’s (1951–1991) diaries and letters are stored in digital archives – a life collected in one place. They document his experience as a gay trans man and bear witness to an important time in queer history.

Today, this material can only be accessed online, visible but untouchable. Through print, it once again takes physical form. A body that can be held and shared, that moves from hand to hand. A way to let his life move beyond the archive.
