The Record Collection

The Record Collection is an ever-growing archive of early jazz and popular music recordings that, for a whole variety of reasons, fit the definition of an oopsie gaysie.

Featuring songs from the 1920s through the 1930s, browse the collection or use the search bar below to start exploring the queer sounds of the past.

For more information on what songs are included and how you can be a part of the project, visit the contribute page. For other questions, get in touch with our historian.
