Description: The arqive, formerly known as GlobaltraQs, is a web and mobile application that allows anyone to post fun and interesting LGBTQ+ oriented stories, events, and other information that they find meaningful. Founded in 2014 by Dr. Cynthia Wang, with Zachary Vernon susequently joining as a cosponsor. The arqive gives users a safe platform where they can share personal, historical, and community stories, as well as have access to information about safe spaces, which all serve as valuable resources to members of the LGBTQ+ community. By providing users with the ability to place pins on the map indicating where they have been and the experiences they have lived, The arQive gives people the ability to mark their place in the world and in history.
This year's project for The arqive will focus on adding additional features to the website and mobile apps and refining the appearance and performance of The arqive.
