ARCHIVE NOTE / 001

BRING IT
TO BRUNCH.

Queer print was made to be seen. Pass it around. Read it on the train—out loud if you want. Or don’t—sometimes the cover says plenty.

Kaelan Strouse Wants to Know Why Sex and God Are ‘Separate Things’

Kaelan Strouse spent seven years inside an ashram and got thrown out of it by email. He’s spent the six years since posting naked on the internet and talking about God. Now one of the most decorated queer presses in the country is publishing his account of why those aren’t two different lives.

ARCHIVE INTAKE / THREE WAYS IN

SELL IT. CONSIGN IT.
OR GIVE IT A HOME.

We buy collections outright, and we take them on consignment — real money for good material. Or donate it to the permanent collection, where it is catalogued, digitized for the Reading Room, kept for good, and lent to universities and queer nonprofits.

WE PAY THE SHIPPING
Archive Daddy is not a 501(c)(3), so a gift here isn’t tax-deductible. We’d rather say that plainly up front. The point of this project isn’t a tax status — it is keeping visual queer history accessible to everyone.
What you get instead: it is catalogued under your name, digitized page by page, kept permanently, and read by members in the Reading Room.
Nothing donated is ever sold. That is the whole promise.
