How were LGBTQ spaces described and categorized?
The locations database provides searchable access to all individual listings from the Damron guides. Examine how specific establishments were described—the language Damron used, which amenity features were assigned, and how these descriptions changed across multiple years. Search by keywords, filter by location or amenity, and explore the raw transcribed data. The database enables close reading of individual entries and supports researchers conducting their own analyses beyond our visualizations.
