N2 - Digital spaces have opened up new arenas in which to explore the emotions and ephemera of queer life. Building on the work of queer archivists, this article looks at how the online environments might allow us to build accessible queer, feminist archives of emotion and ephemera. I examine three photo essays–Meg Allen’s Butch, Maika Elan’s The Pink Choice and Christa Holka’s I Was There–in order to explore the role of the digital and visual in capturing queer moments and also to understand the importance of nostalgia and community for recording the important histories of queer women’s lives.
