Queering the Map is a community-generated mapping project that geo-locates queer moments, memories and histories to collectively document the spaces that hold queer memory, from park benches to parking garages, marking moments of queerness wherever they occur.
Up to this point, Queering The Map has been entirely self-funded and volunteer run, but as traffic to the site increases they are fundraising to ensure that the site can grow and develop into a sustainable living archive of queer experience.

Disclaimer: I’m using the Mac version which, from what I can gather, has some different functions than the Windows one.
Important: If you have a school e-mail, head down to Office 365 Education and find out if you can have free access to Microsoft Office. That’s pretty much how I got OneNote on my computer and on my phone. Once you download it and sign in with your school account, OneNote will sync your computer notebooks to the OneNote/OneDrive system, so you can access them from anywhere.
I’ve been using OneNote to try and keep better track of my reading notes because I have the horrible habit of spreading them around a thousand different folders and then not being able to find them when I need them (this is literally what happened to me when I was preparing for my qualifying exams, and it was not fun). I was also looking for something that gave me some kind of remote access, kinda like Evernote–but I had bad experiences with Evernote + iPad, and I wanted something easier than just sending everything to Google Drive.
* So basically, I decided to have 2 different notebooks: one for notes on bibliography and one for notes on primary sources.
* For my primary sources, I have sections on different kinds of documents (devotional manuscripts, account records etc), and I’m creating individual pages for each of them. Because I haven’t done much in-depth work on any one of them as of yet, I’m just adding the description of each of them that I had to write for my prospectus. The page title is the coordinates to the document:
* For my “Notes on Bibliography” notebook, I then created sections that, for now at least, organize some of the axes of my research. I also added a section for notes from classes, which usually compile or relate multiple texts, so it would be hard for me to pinpoint where they would fit:
(don’t they look pretty in all these different colors?)
* Whenever I add notes on a text, I add a page. The page title is the name of the author + the name of the text (article or book). Because I also added notes from texts read for classes or for my qualifying exams, I made sure to add that information right under the page title, so it’s easy to see under which circumstances I produced said notes:
* And then I just write down whatever it is I’m writing! I particularly like that you can insert images and tables with relative ease, and that you don’t have to worry at all about margins but still get a fair amount of font and style choices - and it has OCR!
* A point that @dressesandalchemy has made here that I haven’t been able to test is the linking to files, but I have been able to link to other notes and it’s glorious:
* And, like I said, I can have quick access to everything on my phone as well:
anon who wanted the onenote masterpost! here it is. i do pretty much everything as juliana suggested (though i haven’t yet synced it to my phone…… might have to do that!) i strongly second her recommendation to have one notebook for your primaries and one for your secondaries – you can link between them, but i find that it’s conceptually really useful to keep the actual notes separate.
one very nice thing abt onenote (vs a physical notebook) is that you can search all notebooks at once – so if i’m trying to see what info i have on huntington library ms hm 64, i can just search “hm 64″ and every single page with that phrase on it will pop up for me, whether it’s the primary ms notes or secondaries that mentioned the ms.
