For over two decades, Historian Bob Skiba, the self-anointed "Gayborhood Guru," has been preserving and promoting Philadelphia's vibrant LGBTQ history. In addition to curating the John J. Wilcox Jr. LGBT Archives at the William Way Community Center, Skiba also authors a historical blog, "The Gayborhood Guru," and gives tours of Philadelphia's historic Gayborhood. Skiba explains of his archival passion, "I like to think if I keep on telling these stories, if we document our history, if we document who we are, it's going to be harder and harder to erase or even to ignore."

"I like to think if I keep on telling these stories, if we document our history, if we document who we are, it's going to be harder and harder to erase or even to ignore," explains Skiba.
