Update for July 2026

Update for July 2026. The photograph behind the text is of The ArQuives' art storage on the third floor of 34 Isabella Street in Toronto, photograph by Nico Mara-McKay. On the right are the Ephemeral Record logo, URLS for the website and Patreon, and my name.

An update, because June was busier than expected! Queer Canada will be continuing on a more sustainable schedule. I’m travelling across Canada for community consultations, and I have two new exciting archival projects to share.

Phoenix Goes to School, by Michelle and Phoenix Finch

Phoenix Goes to School is the story of a trans girl's first day of school, her anxieties about discrimination, and the support she receives from her family, teacher, and friends. Its gentle storytelling, colourful illustrations, and thoughtful supplementary materials make it an affirming read for trans children, and an accessible introduction to their experiences for cis children.
