Read on for Local & Family History updates and find out what’s coming up. The LGBTQ+ Collection in Michiana Memory holds materials pertaining to St. Joseph County’s LGBTQ community from the 1950s to the 2010s. Items in this collection document social life, businesses, organizations, and activism of community members as well as include government activities regarding human rights. In this collection you’ll find photographs, event programs, newsletters, reports, and more. The original materials digitized for this collection were sourced from the collections of the Civil Rights Heritage Center at IUSB, but the library also collects such items for our own Local & Family History archives. Interested in donating or loaning items to grow the library’s archives of LGBTQ history? Contact us for more information! You may have seen paper quilt squares at your local SJCPL branch or in the Local & Family History Department. We’re gathering responses to the prompt “What is your wish for America’s future?” to display them as a giant collaborative quilt for the July 11th 250th event at the Main Library. Be sure to fill out a quilt square and put July 11th on your calendar! 304 S. Main St. South Bend, IN 46601 574-282-4646 © 2026 SJCPL. All rights reserved. Privacy Statement Accessibility Statement
