Professional Biography

About this organization
Arizona LGBT+ History Project is a collaboration between Phoenix Pride, Marshall Shore (Hip Historian) and Arizona State University Libraries. In 2015, a building located at 222 E. Roosevelt St, in downtown Phoenix, was demolished to make way for a condominium development. The building was historically significant to Arizona’s LGBT+ community because it once housed the 307 Lounge, one of the earliest nightclubs in the Valley that catered to the LGBT+ community. It closed in 2000. Today, a plaque is planned for the spot where the club existed. But the losing fight to preserve the building highlighted how little was being done to preserve Arizona’s LGBT+ community history. And it created this movement bringing together like-minded individuals determined to heighten awareness, and to preserve, document, and share the LGBT+ experience in Arizona.
