An immersive augmented reality experience created to bring Bob Damron’s 1965 Address Book, a discreet guide to safe queer spaces in mid-20th-century America, into public view. Using WebAR portals, 3D scans, archival media, and spatialized audio, the project makes hidden LGBTQ+ histories accessible to a wider audience, inviting public engagement with the coded networks that once enabled safety, connection, and survival.
