Salem, MA Librarian/Researcher

I am working on a special project at my university that requires a local expert. Each year, for the past 3 years, there has been a queer history event during the month of October (LGBTQ+ History Month) and this year is taking us to Salem, Massachusetts where we will explore the connections between queer history and witchcraft/magic.

The project’s leader will be visiting Salem in March and I am looking for folks in the area who may be able to provide information and context. I’ve seen there’s a public library and an Athenaeum, but I haven’t reached out yet because I wanted to post here first.

Thanks!
