Plan Your Visit
Use of the archives is free and open to the public! Due to limited space in the archives, our hours are by appointment only.
We are centrally located in Copley Square at:
Queer History Boston
565 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02116
Public Transit
We are less than a block from the Copley T-Stop (Green Line), and three blocks from Back Bay Station (Orange Line, Bus, & Amtrak).
The nearest bus stop is Boylston St at Clarendon St.
Parking
We recommend taking public transportation to the office, as downtown parking is limited. There is metered parking and paid parking garages located nearby.
Accessibility
Our office is located on the fourth floor of a historic building and is accessible by elevator. The elevator door is narrow (27.5” wide), and unfortunately cannot accommodate all mobility aids. If you have questions or would like to request accommodations, please email us at info@queerhistoryboston.org, and we will be happy to assist you.
