Preserving what institutions
are willing to let disappear
Medical research saves lives. Access to that research saves lives too — and right now, that access is under threat.
The lavender fields are being sown. Much more work is yet to be done.
The Lavender Lifeline Archive is a community-driven, independently operated digital archive dedicated to preserving transgender healthcare research and HIV/AIDS medical literature — because the internet forgets, institutions fail, and some of us cannot afford to lose this information.
We are not a corporation. We are not a cloud service. We are a lifeline — built on real hardware, with real redundancy, by a transgender information science student with a deep passion for equality, human rights, and the belief that access to knowledge is a right, not a privilege.
This is for anyone who has ever needed medical information and found the link broken, the study paywalled, or the organization defunded. The archive is being built in public. The research belongs to the community. We are keeping it that way.
