Abstract
The Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture at Duke University recently acquired the papers of writer, theorist, activist, and revolutionary communist Leslie Feinberg; these papers are held now alongside the papers of Feinberg's spouse and partner, Minnie Bruce Pratt. Feinberg's papers include hir manuscripts, correspondence, gifts from readers and activists, and an original compendium of ephemera from transgender lives. "Things People Gave Me" explores how Feinberg's papers arrived at the Bingham Center, and shares insight into the thought process and care that Feinberg's heirs, Minnie Bruce Pratt and her two sons, put into the decision. The journey of Feinberg's papers is a reminder of the urgency of making plans and decisions about legacy, including one's archives, papers, and copyright, while alive.
