"It’s very powerful to know at least some of our known and unknown histories are being collected and stored and used. I will definitely be back!"

Thank you to everyone who attended one of our #LGBTQ+HM #archive workshops ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Three people sat in our Reading Room happily looking at archive material, with a display of Femorabilia (women and girls) magazines in the background. A table full of archive material and special collections publications, including photograph albums from I M Marsh College, a satirical book cutting mocking dandies, two scrapbooks of 19th century period women's costume, The Family Doctor, some of Peter Farrer's publications, & etc. A full table of archive material with a close up of The Wolverine: Gay Voices of Hostility publication. In the background is the Two Cowboys design pillowcase t-shirt, made by Malcolm McClaren using Jim French's illustration. A full table of archive material and special collections publications showing small run community publications and erotic zines from predominantly the 1970s, as well as catalogues in the background and 1980s-1990s club flyers.
