"Changes and Challenges of the Archives" is based on a still-in-progress master's thesis that I will complete by May 2021 at Sarah Lawrence College. The purpose of this article is not to come to any conclusions about the challenges of researching lesbian history during the COVID-19 pandemic but, rather, to explore how these world circumstances have further complicated the labor required of a lesbian historian. Many elements of this thesis and research are still in flux, including my investigation of the role race played in creating and developing a sexually deviant, criminalized definition of lesbian(ism). My ultimate hope is that this paper provides some valuable knowledge for my queer historian comrades and sparks a dialogue that can benefit historians who are continuing their research through debilitating circumstances.
“档案的变化与挑战”一文基于我在 2021 年 5 月前于莎拉劳伦斯学院完成的一篇硕士论文。本文的目的不是对在新冠疫情期间研究女同性恋历史的挑战得出任何结论，而是要探讨这些世界性环境如何使女同性恋历史学家的工作变得更加复杂。本论文及研究的许多内容仍在不断变化，包括我对种族在创造和发展对女同性恋者（主义）的性变态、犯罪化定义中所起作用的调查。我最终的希望是，本文能为我那些酷儿史领域的同志提供一些有价值的知识，并引发一场对话，使那些在艰难环境下继续研究的历史学家从中受益。
