The papers of Miren Uriarte are now available to research, thanks to @nu_archives.

Uriarte was a sociologist who collected internal documents, reports, publications, and oral history recordings that provide a window into the history of social justice and civil rights issues in Boston's Latinx community.

Yesterday, @nu_archives invited people to view the recently processed Nancy F. Walker Papers. Walker was a gay rights activist and writer in Boston, and her collections include publications documenting LGBTQA+ life in Boston in the 1950s-1980s.

In case you missed it, here are some of the items that were on display. A woman stands outside, with a street and house behind her. She has short dark hair and is wearing a white coat. She has a bored look on her face and her face is resting in her hand. by @northeasternlib
