                <text>The LGBTQ+ Oral History Collection is the home for oral history interviews conducted with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, nonbinary, and asexual individuals from various communities with a focus on those with a connection to Omaha, Nebraska. The interviews were consciously collected to be part of UNO’s Queer Omaha Archives. Interviews to date are all audio recordings and include community members and UNO faculty; interviewees are described individually. Interviews to date have been conducted by UNO professor Jay Irwin, UNO archivist Amy Schindler, UNO students in Prof. Jay Irwin’s Fall 2016 Introduction to LGBT Studies course, and UNO Libraries oral history associate for the Queer Omaha Archives Luke Wegener. Contact UNO Libraries' Archives and Special Collections about access to interviews not yet available online.</text>

                <text>Oral history is one of many sources available to consult as part of your research. It reflects the experience of an individual and shares personal opinions offered by the interviewee in response to questioning. Additional sources can verify and provide additional information to the narrative of events presented in oral histories. Contact UNO Libraries’ Archives &amp; Special Collections to continue your research, find additional sources, or learn more.</text>

Nicholas (Nick) Newman is a Lecturer in Art and Art History at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO). Newman earned a B.A. degree from Dartmouth College, an M.A. degree in Theory and History of Art and Architecture from the State University of New York-Binghamton, and an M.A. degree in Visual and Cultural Studies from the University of Rochester. He was awarded the Alumni Outstanding Teaching Award from UNO in 2014. The interview was conducted as part of a project for Professor Jay Irwin's Fall 2016 Sociology 3700: Introduction to LGBTQ Studies course. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newman began the interview by discussing his sexual orientation and the process of coming out to his family and friends. He also detailed the significant romantic relationships in his life, from junior high school into adulthood. Newman then discussed his two former partners and losing them both to the AIDS crisis. He later described his involvement with various LGBTQ groups and organizations. Newman concluded the interview by detailing his hopes for the interview project.&lt;/span&gt;</text>
