The 2026 Queer History South Conference will be 100% virtual on February 20-21, 2026.

Queer History South (QHS) is a network and conference that connects people working to preserve, research, and make accessible the rich and diverse histories of the LGBTQ US South. The primary purpose of QHS is to provide networking, professional development, and best practices for those directly working (formally or informally, professionally or communally) in the fields of Southern LGBTQ Histories, Archives, Exhibits, Historical Research, and Historical Education. QHS meets for a conference every two years at a different location across the South. QHS also offers opportunities for collaboration, research, and educational professional development opportunities throughout the year.

QHS 2026 will be completely virtual so that more people are able to attend.

You can see the full schedule and learn more at https://invisiblehistory.org/qhs2026/

Invisible Histories focuses on four key elements related to advancing LGBTQ Southern History:

Community Engagement
Archiving, Preservation, Research & Scholarship
Education
Professional Development & Best Practices

Invisible Histories acts as an intermediary between institutions, organizations, and everyday folks. We strive to break barriers between organizations and their local communities to ensure that preservation and research exist in a co-productive and relationship centered way. In addition to direct collection and preservation, Invisible Histories is invested in providing scholars with direct access to materials as well as creating a network of people conducting LGBTQ Southern archiving, preservation, education and research to make scholarship more accessible. We focus on providing education around the Queer South to those within and outside the region through speaking, exhibiting, online materials, and publications. Finally, Invisible Histories seeks to help develop a new generation of scholars working in the Queer South as well as work alongside other professionals in the field to develop best practices for this work.
