The Trans Memory Archive is an Argentinian project that shares anecdotes, photos, testimonies, and letters from the transvestite, transgender, and transsexual community. This collection is considered a treasure, given that for a long time in Argentina, lives were erased, photos were hidden by families, laws criminalized identities, and discrimination was systematic. Therefore, the preservation of these documents is especially significant: they survived both the dictatorship and police repression in the democratic era.
