Preserving LGBTQ History and Stonewall Era Photos

LGBTQ community photos document history that was systematically hidden — the Stonewall uprising, the early Pride marches, the community centers and bars that provided refuge, and the found families that sustained people rejected by biological families.

The Challenge

LGBTQ community photos faced deliberate destruction as well as neglect — many families destroyed photos to conceal LGBTQ identities, and many individuals destroyed their own photos to protect themselves. The surviving images are particularly precious.

How AI Helps

AI restoration approaches LGBTQ heritage photos with recognition that each surviving image represents survival against systematic erasure. Maximum recovery effort ensures that these historically significant community documents are preserved for future generations.

Next Steps

Gather your photographs, scan at the highest resolution available (600 DPI minimum), and visit PhotoFix to start the restoration process. AI tools can handle damage that once required expensive professional services, making preservation accessible for every family.
